I hvae a really simple question that's got me stumped. It would help if I were really a scripter, I'm sure.
I want to rotate a single object along a local axis (X, y, or z) so that when I postion it it will always rotate correctly. Could someone tell me/provide the simple code to do this? I have indeed searched these forums, as well as tried my hand at the wiki but I just can't seem to get any solution to work.

From: Jon Oddfellow when I postion it it will always rotate correctly. Could you elaborate as to what you mean?

ok, say I make a wheel and set it spinning correctly using the rotate script taht comes in the library. When I put the wheel in a different postion, it's rotating on the world axis and not it's own local axis. I need to to rotate on a local axis so that it's not world directional dependent.
make sense?

You will have to run a timer to do that.
vector axis = <0,0,1>;
float spinrate = 1;
float gain = 1;
float update = 5.0;
rotation previous = <0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0>;
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTimerEvent(update);
}
timer()
{
if((previous = llGetRot()) != previous)
llTargetOmega(axis * previous, spinrate, gain);
}
}
