Struct Transform 

pub struct Transform {
    pub translation: Vec3,
    pub rotation: Quat,
    pub scale: Vec3,
}

Describe the position of an entity. If the entity has a parent, the position is relative to its parent position.

• To place or move an entity, you should set its Transform.
• To get the global transform of an entity, you should get its GlobalTransform.
• To be displayed, an entity must have both a Transform and a GlobalTransform.
  • You may use the TransformBundle to guarantee this.

Transform and GlobalTransform

Transform is the position of an entity relative to its parent position, or the reference frame if it doesn’t have a Parent.

GlobalTransform is the position of an entity relative to the reference frame.

GlobalTransform is updated from Transform by systems in the system set TransformPropagate.

This system runs during CoreSet::PostUpdate. If you update the Transform of an entity during this set or after, you will notice a 1 frame lag before the GlobalTransform is updated.

Examples

• transform
• global_vs_local_translation

Fields

translation: Vec3

Position of the entity. In 2d, the last value of the Vec3 is used for z-ordering.

See the translations example for usage.

rotation: Quat

Rotation of the entity.

See the 3d_rotation example for usage.

scale: Vec3

Scale of the entity.

See the scale example for usage.

pub fn mul_transform(&self, transform: Transform) -> Transform

Multiplies self with transform component by component, returning the resulting Transform

pub fn transform_point(&self, point: Vec3) -> Vec3

Transforms the given point, applying scale, rotation and translation.

If this Transform has a parent, this will transform a point that is relative to the parent’s Transform into one relative to this Transform.

If this Transform does not have a parent, this will transform a point that is in global space into one relative to this Transform.

If you want to transform a point in global space to the local space of this Transform, consider using GlobalTransform::transform_point() instead.
