Transforms

A transform is a data object describing a model's position, orientation, and scale in the 3D world.
Transform methods can be used to move a given vector, light, camera, or model from its current
location to a new position and/or orientation.
Transform creation method
Use the

Description
Returns a new vector equaling
.
vector2/scalar
Returns a new vector resulting from applying the
positional and transformation changes defined by
to . Note that vector*transform is an
transform vector
invalid operation.
Returns a new vector equaling
.
scalar-vector1
Returns a new vector equaling
.
vector1-scalar
Returns a new vector equaling
.
scalar + vector1
Returns a new vector equaling
.

method to create a new
Description
Creates a new transform initialized as the identity
transform. The identity transform has no rotation and a
vector position of
(0,0,0)

transform
Description
Script vector object describing the
position of a transform with the value
vector(xOffset, yOffset, zOffset)
model.transform position represents the
model's position in relation to its parent.
Script vector object describing the x, y,
and z scale of the transform with the
vector value
vector(xScale, yScale,
.
zScale)
Scaling is always applied model-
