Theres 3 different types of rotates you can do. RotateRoll, RotateYaw, and RotatePitch. Experiment with all 3 until you find the one you want, in your script, you can do something like

Code Snippet

Plaintext

model RotateRoll(degrees,time);

where degrees is how many degrees you want it to rotate, and time is how many seconds you want it to take to rotate.

I'm getting an error when i try to compile this. I made tha bucket to a script_model, like doors and gave it targername "ex_bucket" and wrote "ex_bucket RotateRoll(360,45);" im the main function in mapname.gsc. What i'm i doing wrong?
I dont know how the script works yet but i want the "saws" on the excavators to rotare from the start until i die.

You need to get the ent of the object before telling it to do something.

so before that line put

Code Snippet

Plaintext

ex_bucket = GetEnt("NAME_OF_TARGETNAME","targetname"

Change the NAME_OF_TARGETNAME to the targetname you gave to the object.

If you want it to keep on moving until you game over then do something like

Code Snippet

Plaintext

ex_bucket = GetEnt("NAME_OF_TARGETNAME","targetname"
while(1)
{
ex_bucket RotateRoll(360,1);
ex_bucket WaitTill("move_done")
}

Now what that does is, it moves the bucket in a 360 degree angle every 1 second. You can obviously make it go faster or slower by changing the 1.
