Rotating a spiraled torus around a staff

Greetings..i am making a staff amd have made a spiraled torus..problem is....i need the spiraled torus to "spiral" around the staff...Rotate in place if you will..around the staff. I have an llGetRotation script, but it isn't working correctly. I have provided a snap of the staff to give you an idea of what i am talking about If anyone would know of or have any open source scripts available, would greatly appreciate it

Thanxx in advance

Is the staff in the centre of the torus?

If so, I think all you need is a single call to llTargetOmega.

Try something like this....

default
{
state_entry()
{
llTargetOmega(<0,0,1>, 1, 1);
}
}

That should make an object rotate around the Z-Axis. If your object is linked to something, it should rotate around the center of the Parent object. If the linked object is rotated at all you'll prolly get some funky rotations.

Here's a link to the ScriptWiki entry for llTargerOmega. There's some info there about rotating around an already rotated Prim, to.

Thanxx.
Just what i was looking for
Will do nicely. Thanxx for the reply guys

I have experienced some wierdness with llTargetOmega() in a child prim in the past , it stopped rotation after it was taken in the inventory and rerezzed. If you have that problem aswell you might try to put that call in the on_rez() event.
