RotateX/Y/Z and move forward

Hey,
I want an object moving forward and rotateX/Y/Z at the same time.
Maybe with a while loop ?
Thanks

well i would mess with angles myself.
but you can use movexup etc like so
Code: Select all
$object moveup 32
$object move
$object movexup 77
$object waitmove
iprintln "finished mooving both"

i've seen this used -
$object moveEast 800
$object rotateYdownto 180
$object waitmove
What sets the speed to move object?

You can issue a few move commands at a time and activate them with one waitmove, I mean like this:
Code: Select all
self moveNorth 16
self moveWest 16
self moveDown 16
self waitmove
Self will start moving diagonally north-west-down at the moment when the waitmove command is issued.
@Viper:
Will set local.object's speed to 150 units per second.

Thankyou all
Code: Select all
$object moveto $waypoint1
$object rotateYdownto 180
$object waitmove
or
Code: Select all
self moveto $waypoint1
self moveWest 16
self moveDown 16
self waitmove
This is also possible ?

I would use
$object moveto $waypoint1
$object rotateYdownto 180
$object waitmove

Another ? on this.
Is there a way to set the speed of rotation seperate from speed of movement?

It's a parameter of the rotate command. Look in g_allclasses.html, it's all there.

using yaw and rotation is also great for making a truck like leaning over a cliff and on fire or something like that. I used it once for a truck on its side halfway on a slightly elevated terrain and half on a lower terrain whie one fire. Turned out nice

You can set time I think on rotation . $object rotateYdownto 180 is absolute it rotates down to 180 but if you just did $object rotatey ? the ? would be degrees per second I belive . $object rotatey 360 would rotate y once per second to stop it you would have to do $object rotatey 0

$object time 3
$object moveto $waypoint1
$object rotateYdownto 180
$object waitmove
$object time 3 is how long itll take to move, so they lesser the number the faster

My rule of thumb is speed for movement time for rotation .

When I use this:
Code: Select all
test:
$test moveto $waypoint1
$test rotateYdownto 180
$test waitmove
I get this in console:
Code: Select all
Error, no script should be loaded before loadout.scr
And when I apply this script to an object :

your $bathallied entity isn't being read correctly. does it exist? spell the targetname right?
the loadout.scr thing, you can't exec stuff before main.

does it exist? spell the targetname right?
Yes, Yes.
If I make a brush into a script object and give it a targetname "test" it does work. But when I give an object a targetname of "test" I get the NULL listener error
