Avatar Movie: Scorpion rotor rotation

[Xiija]

so, i was thinking of trying to make one, and am wondering what the correct rotation code would be.

i will prolly make a mesh of the rotor case, and just make the blades seperate, or a texture.

I think i need x & y rotations, and i will change them based on a vehicle movement code..

kind of like how tires turn right when a vehicle turns right etc?

here is an anim of the idea... any thoughts?

Scorpion Helo

 

mebbe i should just forget about adding rotations and affect each one individually?

here is what i have for testing...

float rollAmt = 20;
float pitchAmt = 30;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {       
    }
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {  llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(1,[PRIM_ROTATION,llGetLocalRot() * llEuler2Rot(<0,rollAmt,0>*DEG_TO_RAD)]);  // roll    
       llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(1,[PRIM_ROTATION,llGetLocalRot() * llEuler2Rot(<pitchAmt,0,0>*DEG_TO_RAD)]);  // pitch    
    }
}

 

Thanx for any help

The reason why I haven't responded to this yet is because I'm not entirely sure what you're asking.

1. You want the rotors to turn based on movement
2. You have a working but unfinished example

So what's the question? The code design? How does the drone move?

i figured it out.. was over thinking it...

instead of adding rotations, i just reset them each time
