RE: help making wheel spin continuesly!

Are you saying "making the wheel spin continuously"? On its own?

Sorry, I have a massive headache right now, and my vision's slurred, and I can't think.

RE: help making wheel spin continuesly!

Here
void RotatePropToSpeed(string& asName, float afAcc, float afGoalSpeed, float afAxisX, float afAxisY, float afAxisZ, bool abResetSpeed, string& asOffsetArea);

Additional info:


Rotates the prop up to a set speed.asName - internal name
afAcc - acceleration
afGoalSpeed - desired speed
afAxisX - rotation around X axis
afAxisY - rotation around Y axis
afAxisZ - rotation around Z axis
abResetSpeed - determines whether the speed is resetted after goal speed is reached
asOffsetArea - the area to rotate around, if ””, then the center of the body is used
Note: The entity you want to rotate MUST be a “StaticObject” entity!


Try this, and experiment with each of the values. If the pipe is rotating the wrong way, you used an incorrect axis. You may need to use 2 axises if neither work alone. As I said, experiment.

You're welcome. Also, experiment with all values (start with one at a time)! After some time, you shall find the right thing.
