strafe3d_model(3)

💅 strafe3d_model — the Arcan Lua API, bestie edition

okay so this is strafe3d_model from the strafe3d_model(3) corner of the Arcan Lua API and it's literally the side-step button for your 3D models 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

strafe3d_model — move the specified model sideways, relative to the viewing angle it's currently facing 🔥

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

nil
strafe3d_model( vid:model, float:amount )
strafe3d_model( .B )
strafe3d_model( vid:model, float:amount, uint:time=0 )
strafe3d_model( .B )
strafe3d_model( vid:model, float:amount, uint:time, bool:mask_x=false )
strafe3d_model( .B )
strafe3d_model( vid:model, float:amount, uint:time, bool:mask_x,
bool:mask_y=false )
strafe3d_model( .B )
strafe3d_model( vid:model, float:amount, uint:time, bool:mask_x,
bool:mask_y, bool:mask_z=false )
strafe3d_model( .B )
strafe3d_model( vid:model, float:amount, uint:time, bool:mask_x,
bool:mask_y, bool:mask_z=false, uint:interp=INTERP_LINEAR )

like yes there are a lot of overloads, no cap, they all stack up in order — and yes the .B lines are just sitting there being iconic in the synopsis, we keep them exactly as they are 💀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this function moves the model relative to its current orientation — not the world, not the camera, its own vibe check. 🫶

here's the tea on direction:

• negative amount → "the left", from the object's own perspective 👈
• positive amount → "the right", from the object's own perspective 👉

and the optional mask arguments? they block the specified axes from being updated, so if you wanna slide sideways but keep one axis pinned, that's your moment, bestie. 🎯
