Moving Pyramids

Post by Dumbledore »

Hi...

I am just playing around with making my map, and I want to spin around a pyramid.

I know, I know, you're going to tell me that I should use angular, but that moves the TANK and not the object. I want to rotate the pyramid around in circles.

Any way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

in the map file your pyramid exists like this

pyramid
size x x x
position 0 0 0
rotation 90
end

change rotation for w/e you want

No, that's not what I meant... reread my post carefully...

I want the pyramid to actually MOVE, like to PHYSICALLY TURN. Like you can see it move through your view.

Live Moving objects (ie live rotating) is currently unsupported, and therefore inpossible.

You can make the textures move though. As RPG has already said no you can not have MOVING objects.

Yes, you have any idea how to do that?
