Don’t make it physical for the last script someone gave you. That was only another option with what we suggested.

Hi, ok I made a hollowed out cylinder prim, added this script and made it physical, it rolls , but all over the floor, I tried sticking a cylinder through it, or anything  to keep it in place, but it just breaks free from anything, so how do I keep it in place and rotate?

default
{
   
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llTargetOmega(llRot2Left(llGetLocalRot()), PI, 1.0);
        llSetTimerEvent(5);
           
    }
    
    timer()
    {
      llTargetOmega(llRot2Up(llGetLocalRot()), 0, 1.0);
    }  
}

The code from Xijja didn’t work for you? (The drum should NOT be physical for that one.)

Rollig or someone else may be able to help with your current problem.

The code from Xijja did work, but wanted to look at the physical process too, as a different option

 

thx

I think one drawback is, the thing you’re rotating can’t be attached to the thing it is resting on. Just “resting on it”/“rezzed on it”. Or, the entire object/impulse would rotate.

Not an issue, as long as the script is in the child prim that is actually rotating. The entire linkset will only rotate if you put llTargetOmega in the root.

 

See this exchange between me and @Rolig Loon. I don’t know if this will work if drum is physical..but the point of this suggestion was to attach the drum to the stand as part of a linkset, make sure the drum is NOT the root prim, and put the script in the drum - NOT the root prim. I will re-read to see if Rolig made a suggestion on how to “cradle” the drum if physical (maybe it won’t work as a child prim if physical, I don’t know).

*Edit* I didn’t find anything else in the thread except other unrelated solutions.
