Wheele 0-7 aren't turning! I've changed revolve to 0.5.

Please Help! All wheeles were turning before I added the axels.

Oh, and is there anyway that I can Rotate() things the opposite way?

is rotate() a verb? Maybe setthingrotvel would work better?

Is rotate a verb... I think it is, but I'm not sure... Didn't you find it in DM? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/rolleyes.gif]

i have no idea why.. but it appears that the stopthings where running every few microseconds on the first eight things when ever the axles code was in the cog...

anyway, i changed it a little and it seems to work fine for me. so it should for you

oh, i found the best settings where to ahve the vector on (0/0/360) and the revolve on 1..

also if you want the wheels to go backwards set the vel to (0/0/-360)

its so simple its fun [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

i have no idea where you heard taht ace but your inncorect

when you use a JK array like that
wheele0

your telling JK to replace the 0 with the number in i havent tryed it your way.. but your still inncorect, as it works fine this way

Actually, that's not strictly true PJB [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

Quote:

It's convenient to have the variable's name match up with the index number that is used to call it. But variables don't have to be named that way. For example:

int var local
int red local
int green local
int blue local
int yellow local
int orange local

In this case, var[4] can be used to access the variable, yellow.

When I try 360, and no loop, it stops after a second.
Negative value for reverse? Have you tied it? This is for JK.

Setthingrotvel keeps going forever untill you stop it.

I'd give it a try.

Also, you keep spelling it "wheele," that can't help anything.
