Built a clock that keeps time

I built a clock that keeps perfect time! Of course only with map running, duh, Its starts a 12:00 so if you start your game then it keeps perfect time.
I really shouldn't have spent my whole saterday adjusting my rotating functions to build a clock but I did and it keeps perfect time. LOL
If anyone wants those numbers just let me know, it took me hours to adjust the hour hand. LOL
Whats cool is every time you run by the clock tower you notice the clock has changed and its like more real!
It doesn't seem to eat much FPS.
I had never seen anyone do this, so I did!

Sure! Let me give you the numbers.
Make the hands rotating doors.
Clock facing EAST, Facing WEST use negitive #s.
Second hand=key: RotateX Value: 6
Minute hand =key: RotateX Value: .1
Hour hand =key: RotateX Value: .008
I haven't tested it north and south.
Don't let the origins over lap!
good luck, I made a circle and drew the hands and give it a little origin post in the middle and select a clock texture.
Sit back and watch it keep time!!!!

Hour hand =key: RotateX Value: .008
0.008 should be
0.1 / 12.0 (= 0.008333...)
Sounds like fun

.008 is close enough 4 me.
Seems to follow my analog clock pretty close.

Wow, this post just keeps coming up
Yeah I guess you could just use script objects instead of rotating door function. At least you won't have to worry about which way its facing.
I noticed in the map "CorfuLiberty" uses small clocks throughout his map, its a SP so along the way each clock is set a little ahead of the last one to try to give it the effect of the clocks working! A working clock would've been better, eh? by the way "Nice job on this map!"
