I am trying to adjust the gravity setting for the 3Dphysics.
How can i generate a x/y/z vector from an angle. I want to generate a vector from a 10 degree rotation around the x axis. like so



Looking at that i'm thinking it should be -10 degrees. Anyway i would like a general algorithm because i think i'll need to use it a fair bit

Thanks in advance for any help/advice

As is the code doesn't work for me. Plugging it into the Set3DPhysicsGravity() function.
This gives me something that i'm looking for. Which is an x values of zero, a Y value approaching -1 and a small positive Z value .1 - .2 roughly


What am i doing wrong here?

I'm toying with a mobile labyrinth thing. Would be cool to rotate the gravity with GetRawAccelX(), GetRawAccelY() & GetRawAccelZ()!

Here is an example someone else posted when 3D physics was added.
The coffee is lovely dark and deep,and I have code to write before I sleep.

Question:

How come in the original example one can also make it work on a PC using cursor keys, while in the 2nd piece of code it no longer works like that, only my android phone?
