I have a problem which I simply cannot solve (tried for two days now). I have a virtual pcb, which is shown from one side, so no rotation. Now the user can rotate the pcb with the mouse. I want to turn the pcb back into the starting rotation, when a key is released. This works without problems when setting the rotation via RotateEntity(ID,0,0,0,#PB_Absolute). So far so good. Now I want to make it more pleasing for the eye and rotate the pcb into position. Therefor I thought I just need to read the angles, divide them by 30 (for 30 steps) and substract the resulting values 30 times. But no, this does not work. I tried with EntityDirectionX/Y/Z(), EntityPitch/Roll/Yaw() and FetchOrientation(). This only resulted in the cognition that I have no idea what I'm doing. I googled too and found some info in the forum, but I simply don't understand it. So here's my question:
1. When do I need EntityDirectionX/Y/Z(), EntityPitch/Roll/Yaw(), FetchOrientation()?
2. How do I rotate my board smoothly into position?
Code: Select all

My PCB now rotates exactly as I wanted it to.
