Rotation of a mounted weapon

by Kevin Bamonte · in Torque Game Engine · 12/13/2007 (5:31 pm) · 4 replies

Is it possible to rotate a mounted object (weapon) during the game (depending on if a key is hit) ?

i can;t seem to find a way to do this.

thanks in advance

Hello all,

i don't need you to supply code for this (unless you have it handy) i just need to know if it can be done or not ... it doesn't seem like you can ...

thanks in advance,

kevin

Kev, I don't think it's easily done, but here are some possible approaches:
1) Put the rotation in an animation in the mounted object. Call the animation from the normal mountedimage state machine
2) Write some engine code to rotate the mounted image

Yes I've had the same problem... Just turn the mounts like an animation.
