simple clockwork object... help with rotation point? About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011.

I noticed a lot of examples use some hard coded paths. I don't know the benefits of doing. But it seems like embedding paths is something to avoid for reuse. Anyway, I set out to do my own stripped down clockwork program that I could attach arbitrary objects to (see attachment). I need some help with the rotation since the hands don't rotate around where I thought they should although they originally had their object axes aligned. So, what did I do wrong? I'm lacking a fundamental understanding of the various Matrix objects passed around. regards, SR Post by SiRender // Feb 11, 2006, 11:07pm SiRender Total Posts: 38 I forgot to point out that you have to navigate into that last object to activate it. I realized to be simpler I could have just exported the activate control, so here is another version that does that. tS7 is sooooo cool! :cool: regards, SR Post by Délé // Feb 12, 2006, 3:39am Délé Total Posts: 1374 Hey SiRender, You can change the location of the axis in the model view (image below). I moved the axis and also changed the timer to 15ms. It seemed to run a little smoother with the lower delay. Hope that helps. :) Post by SiRender // Feb 12, 2006, 8:40am SiRender Total Posts: 38 Hey SiRender, You can change the location of the axis in the model view (image below).
