[SOLVED] Change models position or rotation via chrome console

Help & Support
1

Ok so I am fairly new to playcanvas and I am trying to do a very simple task of moving or rotating an entity via google chrome console.

I can find my entity easily enough using

var testModel= pc.app.root.findByName(“Tire”)

but I have found several postion and rotation in the returned information. I have tried to set the rotation several ways but can not figure out which one of the many postion values is the one to update?

thanks in advance for any help

You should probably read the User Manual, Tutorials and API reference. You’ll find all the position / rotation related methods here

TL:DR - setEulerAngles is one commonly used method to rotate.

These are also useful in the console:
