Rotating a spawned Object

Hey, I'm making a mod, similar to something like the old James Bond Games....
Here's an example
Code: Select all
//------------Shotgun-----------------------
shotgun:
local.trig = spawn trigger_multiple targetname triggerit
local.trig.origin = ( -789 2436 -113 )
local.trig setsize ( -10 -10 -10 ) ( 10 10 10 )
local.trig setthread got_shotgun
local.trig wait 2
local.shotgun = spawn script_model targetname shotgun
local.shotgun model "weapons/shotgun.tik"
local.shotgun.origin = ( -789 2436 -113 )
local.shotgun.scale = 1.0
end
I want the shotty (along with the rest of the weapons) to rotate in the air. I know its done with .angles...but i'm not sure what to put.
Thanks in advance. =)

Maybe one of these will do:
Code: Select all
rotateX ( Float avelocity )
Rotate about the x axis at the specified angular velocity.
rotateY ( Float avelocity )
Rotate about the y axis at the specified angular velocity.
rotateZ ( Float avelocity )
Rotate about the z axis at the specified angular velocity.
Basically, use a float (or integer) to represent to what degree you want the object to rotate. "local.object rotateZ 360.0" will make it turn around (direction of it's Z angle) a full circle.
Cheers!

ugh...Most of my weapons are spawning below the map...I raise their .origin (last number) but I get nothing. =\

make sure u r going the right way....u know sometimes when working with - origins u have to actually lower the number to get what u want meaning -113 might have to be -83 instead of -163....or vice versa...try going in both direction

That's called basic maths Tazz
Besides, the engine will do just that if you add "+ ( 0 0 40 )" after the origin you specified.

Well, I added to the last number (Z) and it ended up spawning the rifle in the Center Building Roof Balcony, when the origin is at Southeast path...It was rotating, but dunno why it spawned there...
I'm assuming X = Lenght, Y = Width, and Z = Height...please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks.

And you noted down the coords with "whereami" enabled? Then it should be accurate. Show this origin and I'll see if it's the same on my game.

wherami 1 does nothing on my game..I just type in coord.
Is there a difference? Something I'm missing lol...
I don't have the coord anymore, I redid them all and now none of them are spawning anywhere visible lol.

Oh, an SH/BT user... That's the one of the reason why I never mod on those games. Getting coords is annoying work.

No problem with the coords, just getting the coords is annoying since I need to type "coord" in the console over and over and over....

I've tried using coord and viewpos. Nothing is working. My guns aren't showing up!! =(

do like sor said....get a ss of the place or places u want the weapon and we can get u the coords for the place....with the coords in ur post up top that is nowhere ne se path if ur talking about the algiers map....either way take a screenshot of the place and then go from there

Wait, wait, let me get this straight, you use AA but don't use whereami to get your coordinates?
NO screenshots, show me the script! Let me see what you're doing wrong.
