SetThingRotVel and Collide=3

So, I'm trying to make a wheel that the player stands inside, and has a RotVel the exact opposite of the way the player's walking. I'm able to get the wheel to turn just right, but I can't seem to get it to be solid while still responding to SetThingRotVel.

Here's the relevant part of the Cog:

Code:

[TABLE="width: 90%, align: center"]
[TR]
[TD="class: code"]startup: 
   SetThingPulse(wheel, 0.016); //once per frame 
return; 
 
 
pulse: 
   playerVector=GetThingVel(GetLocalPlayerThing());  //get players speed 
   //PrintVector(playerVector); 
 
   wheelRotVelTemp=VectorSet(VectorY(playerVector),0.0,0.0); //convert  player's speed on the Y axis to rotational velocity in Pitch 
   wheelRotVel = VectorScale(wheelRotVelTemp,vectorRatio); //convert JKUs to degrees 
   //PrintVector(wheelRotVel); 
 
   SetThingRotVel(wheel,wheelRotVel); //turn wheel 
return;[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

And the template data for "wheel":

size=1
movesize=1
collide=3
model3d=wheelb.3DO
physflags=0x200
move=physics
thingflags=0x420548

(-Architecture
-Can be stood on
-Controlled Remotely
-Used in COG
-Sending PULSE message
-Metal)

The wheel turns just fine but the player passes through it like it's not even there. Any ideas?

Make sure the individual surfaces on the 3d0 are flagged as walkable.

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

It's not that the player slides over them, it's that the player doesn't even collide with them. It's like a ghoststruct.

What is the parent template?

Now that's solutioniffic.

The mantle of CogMaster has been passed on to Edward.

(Even if the solution was actually related to the template)

Another question: Is there a way to set somethings pitch/yaw/roll directly via COG, or is it only possible through RotVel?
