Flipping a prim 180 degrees

[SimplifyKidd]

Sorry for posing such a basic question, but I can't figure out how to flip a simple 1 prim card from it's back to it's front.

Can anybody point me to a simple script that flips a prim 180 degree on the Z-axis when the prim is touched?

[Innula Zenovka]

Depends which axis you want to flip it on, of course, but try something like this

rotation rRot;
vector vAxis = <0.0,PI,0.0>;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        rRot = llEuler2Rot(vAxis);  
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
       llSetRot(rRot * llGetRot());
    }
}

Use Innula's script, but be prepared for a surprise.  You asked

which should mean rotating on either the Y axis (as Innula wrote it) or the X axis.  But then you wrote that you wanted

which is neither of those (unless, of course, you have built a funny playing card).

That was just what I needed! Thanks!

I just moved PI to the Z-axis, and with the front of the card being face 1 (facing up) it just worked like a charm ?

I have attached a picture of my cards if my description was confusing.

Two different people with the same handwriting? ?

Alts.

[SimplifyKidd]

Well, now that I can flip the card, I can show you the back side that clearly states that the card has NOT been signed by Clark Middelton ?

Take care!

I am trying this attached to hud, but it only flips 90 degrees, then doesnt do anything.  Do scripts work differently on a hud?

You didn't find more old threads to revive I hope?

PI is 180° but you don't rotate huds with a global rotation, so it's:
 

llSetLocalRot (rRot * llGetLocalRot());

 

[Rolig Loon]

And a HUD is always seen in its Y-Z plane, with the local +X axis pointing directly away from you, so you are seeing the back (-X) side.  Read http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Creating_HUDs

I found this thread because I am trying to make a Business Card that you can flip from front to back. It is attached like a HUD. I used the script at the top and it worked on the card when it is rezzed but when I attach it, it only flips 90 degrees and then won't let it flip again when touched. (See attached Gyazo)

I am sure that it has something to do with it being like a HUD but I am not sure how to change the script to make it work as a HUD. Any suggestions??

I read the HUD article above but I am so new to scripting that I am not sure where to insert the llSetLocalRot (rRot * llGetLocalRot()); in the existing script to make it work.

Thanks for the help!!

Follow Nova's advice (above) and it should work fine. Her llSetLocalRot command replaces the original in the touch_start event.

Thank you!!
