 Re: Making somethign rotate

I am trying to make something swing, like a pendulum or a swing would, should I make it a func_door rotating or a func_rotating, I want it to swing about 30-40 degrees each way.

Help appreciated

Choose your axis carefully --- if you don't it'll rotate wrong. Instead of swinging like pendulum : [addsig]

I once tried using a func_pendulum for a searchlight beam in a DoD map. I dont think DoD likes the func_pendulum... [addsig]

Find the axis you want it to rotate on, and find in which of the 2d views it appears to be "coming out of the screen" if you drew a line along it. For instance if you wanted something rotating back and forth along the floor (no vertical movement) then the axis would appear in the Top (X/Y) view to be a line coming straight up. This means the letter that does not appear (in this case, Z) is the axis you want it to rotate on.

Make sense? [addsig]

Yes it does HP thanks for that, when I did a compile, it was swinging the wrong way
