[SOLVED] object movement according to axis of its parent

[burakdogancay]

How to know direction of object parent to move object along its forward.Is there any way to get related parent forward direction in Unigine?

For example if i move the turret according to given rotation and its child object available on it, so how can i move this object along to turrets forward direction.The most important point is; i can not change its x,y and z axis with set position function, it should move without giving its x,y or z axis accordig to forward direction of the turret. 

Example code;

float objectifps;
const float mObjectMovSpeed = 3.0f;
float mforward_direction = Unigine::Math::Vec3(0.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f); // it moves on y direction with this vector, but i want to move it according to head of turret direction.

mmissileifps = 0.05;
mObjectLeft->setWorldPosition(mObjectLeft->getWorldPosition()+mforward_direction*mObjectMovSpeed*objectifps);

İt moves along y axis, i couldn't manage objects movement according to direction of turret head.

try something like this

NodePtr mObjectLeft = .....; // original node

NodePtr parent = mObjectLeft->getParent();
if (parent)
{
	vec3 mforward_direction = parent->getWorldDirection(Math::AXIS_Y);
	mObjectLeft->setWorldPosition(mObjectLeft->getWorldPosition() + mforward_direction * mObjectMovSpeed * Game::get()->getIFps());
}
