How to move an object forward in Three.js?

Question

Is there any way to move an object forward in Three.js?

Maybe I should convert the rotation.x,y,z to a vector, and deal with it. But I'm beginner, and I don't have any idea how to do it.

Answer 1

Object3D has some handy methods for that.

object.translateZ( 10 ); 

Answer 2

Please use above answer of @mrdoob, creator of ThreeJS:

object.translateZ( delta );

===OLD ANSWER===

A tutorial that worked for older ThreeJS version: http://www.aerotwist.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-three-js/

// set position of YOUR_OBJECT YOUR_OBJECT.position.x = 10; YOUR_OBJECT.position.y = 50; YOUR_OBJECT.position.z = 130; 

More options:

var STEP = 10; var newCubeMatrix = cube.matrix;         newCubeMatrix.identity(); //newCubeMatrix.multiplySelf(THREE.Matrix4.rotationYMatrix(cube.rotation.y)); newCubeMatrix.multiplySelf(THREE.Matrix4.translationMatrix(cube.position.x, cube.position.y, cube.position.z + STEP)); cube.updateMatrix();
