Hi,
I'm making a sci-fi theme build and I made a neat machine to display text. Not suppose to be efficient, just look good yet functional.
In short;
I have a set of 60 cylinders with 72 text characters on each one of them. There all the same.
I need a script that can read a note card one line at the time and display its text by rotating each cylinder appropriately by increment of 5 degrees in the Z axis. Versus having to animate the thing like a middle age monk one character at the time. The goal is for someone to be able to stand in front of the cylinders and advance the text one line at the time. Thought an auto mode would be an immense bonus.
I have a sort of conversion table to figure out the degrees for each character, work as follow.
A=5
a=10
B=15
b=20
C=25
c=30
etc.. all the way up to
355=space
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
