Getting a t2dShape3D model to rotateto...?

#1 You could create your own rotateTo function that sets the angular velocity and then uses getShapeRotation() and compare it to your target vector.

I'm speaking from inexperience though. I have yet to use t2dShape3D objects. :)

#2 Yep, I wouldn't have a clue where to start with that, lol.

But thanks - great idea. I just don't know how to execute it.

#3 Ok, so I was really bored and decided to try and write this function for you! :)

function rotateTo( %this, %targetY, %speed ) {
   // Get the current Y Rotation and convert it to Degrees
   %currentY = mRadToDeg( getWord( %this.getShapeRotation(), 2 ) );

   // Set the angular velocity on the y-axis to %speed
   %this.setShapeAngularVelocity( 0, %speed, 0 );

   // While rotating, %currentY will never be exactly the same as %targetY,
   // but it does get very close (within 1 degree). So we take the absolute
   // value of the %targetY - %currentY and check to see if it's greater
   // or less than the value of 1
   if( mAbs( %targetY - %currentY ) >= 1 ) {
      // If it is greater than or equal to 1, then we schedule this function to
      // run again with the same parameters
      schedule( 20, 0, "rotateTo", %this, %targetY, %speed );
   } else {
      // If it is less than 1, then stop rotation and set the y-axis rotation
      // to %targetY, which rotates it that last little bit so they are now equal
      %this.setShapeAngularVelocity( 0, 0, 0 );
      %this.setShapeRotation( 0, %targetY, 0 );
   }
}

%this = your t2dShape3D object
%targetY = the rotation you want your shape to be at in degrees (-180 - 180)
%speed = how fast you want it to rotate (a negative value will rotate in the opposite direction)

I did some basic testing and it seemed to work fine. Just let me know if something doesn't seem right or if you want me to change some of its functionality.

EDIT: Fixed an error and added comments so it's easier to follow.

#4 Awesome! That does the trick! Thanks! :)

#5 getShapeRotation() returns the same values, after the object is created ...

i.e. I can rotate it using setShapeAngularVelocity() but getShapeRotation() still returns the starting rotation setting. Not the current one.

EDIT: solution is to use getShapeAngularRotation() ...
