Hi,

I wonder how to script a object/prim that will rotate 45 degrees and back.

Could some 1 help me with this...

default
{
state_entry()
{
vector eul = <0, 0, 45>; //45 degrees around the z-axis
eul *= DEG_TO_RAD;
rotation quat = llEuler2Rot( eul );
llSetRot( quat );
}
}

no it should turn back 45 degrees after xx seconds.

I wana make it chat command...that's easy...but on stop I like to stop it into default position.

What you have posted will just make it position itself at a 45 degree angle it wont rotate at all. Look at the thread I gave you for an example of making stuff rotate between two angles. Adding a listen is straightforward as would be stopping it back at the starting point.

also, it looks to me like <0,0,45> will be in world coordinates, not local ones. That is, you are always going to face NE.

Use a timer or llSleep()

Turn
wait
turn back

Like this....?

default
{
state_entry()
{
vector forward = <0, 0, 45>; //45 degrees around the z-axis
forward *= DEG_TO_RAD;
rotation quatforward = llEuler2Rot( forward );
llSetRot( quatforward );
}
{
llSleep(1);
vector backward = <0, 0, -45>; //-45 degrees around the z-axis
backward *= DEG_TO_RAD;
rotation quatbackward = llEuler2Rot( backward );
llSetRot( quatbackward );
}
}

Milcoi, there is an unwritten rule in this forum that you don't just write scrips for people. If you want to hire a scripter, you can do that.

I suggest you search through the Script Library and search the Wiki (the the SL wiki, the good ones...) and read some scripts. You will learn a lot.

Still, here is a rough outline of what you want.


CODE

integer rotated = FALSE;
default {

state_entry()
{
    ...stuff here...
    llSetTimerEvent(1);
    rotate your object.
    rotated = TRUE;
}

timer()
{
     if( rotated )
          rotate back
          rotated=FALSE;
      else
           rotate
           rotated=TRUE
  }
}
