A FloatQ is a floating point representation of a Quaternion. It is used to represent the rotational component of Slot transforms.

There are four components of a Quaternion:

however, these individual values are not normally used directly.

-A FloatQ Is Quaternion floating point. its used for rotation in [[Slot|Slots]] and in components. This value in [[ProtoFlux]] can be used to rotate vectors to new directions, add rotation to [[Slot|Slots]], and even be broken up into a [[Type:Float4|Float4]].
