Global.LocalToWorld#526831

<function name="LocalToWorld" parent="Global" type="libraryfunc"> <description> Translates the specified position and angle from the specified local coordinate system into worldspace coordinates. If you're working with an entity's local vectors, use <page>Entity:LocalToWorld</page> and/or <page>Entity:LocalToWorldAngles</page> instead. See also: <page>Global.WorldToLocal</page>, the reverse of this function. </description> <realm>Shared</realm> <args> <arg name="localPos" type="Vector">The position vector in the source coordinate system, that should be translated to world coordinates</arg> <arg name="localAng" type="Angle">The angle in the source coordinate system, that should be converted to a world angle. If you don't need to convert an angle, you can supply an arbitrary valid angle (e.g. <page>Global.Angle</page>()).</arg> <arg name="originPos" type="Vector">The origin point of the source coordinate system, in world coordinates</arg> <arg name="originAngle" type="Angle">The angles of the source coordinate system, as a world angle</arg> </args> <rets> <ret name="" type="Vector">The world position of the supplied local position.</ret> <ret name="" type="Angle">The world angles of the supplied local angle.</ret> </rets> </function> <example> <description>Matrix math which showcases how this is calculated internally.</description> <code> local localTransform = Matrix() localTransform:SetTranslation(localPos) localTransform:SetAngles(localAng) local worldTransform = Matrix() worldTransform:SetTranslation(originPos) worldTransform:SetAngles(originAngle) -- Transform the local coordinates using the world transform as a transformation matrix local localToWorld = worldTransform * localTransform print(localToWorld:GetTranslation(), localToWorld:GetAngles()) </code> </example>
