Turning objects? | Forums

I want to know how we do to make turn a fan or a saw blade?

Basics

Method 1: Physics Joint. Will only spin while player is nearby, needs to be attached to something.

Physics Joint
Target 1 = Saw blade
Target 2 = Holder (anything stationary really)
Set Pivot (near the bottom of properties) to center of saw blade

Properties (near the top) set to Advanced or Custom
Angular Settings > Angular Motor > [X] Enabled
====================================
Method 2: OPE (Object Position Event). Will spin all the time, can float in air.

Impulse Trigger
Ticks (time) = 1 (0:00:016 I think)
Target = OPE

OPE
Target Object = Saw blade
[X] Rotate Object
[X] Local
x or y or z (one will rotate correctly) = Curved Data Source

Curved Data Source
Linear
Start = 0
End = 359
[X] Loop
Time = How fast you want it to spin

make sure the physics are checked for the saw and its close to the rider
