lock axis of physical object?

hey all,

anyone know how to LOCK an axis in a physical object?

I want to basically make a very fast moving platform that goes upwards using llmovetotaget (because i want to go higher that 512) but i dont want it shifting around and spinning etc...

i want to lock it's rotation to NONE basically, and it's movement to only z axis....so it doesn't shift around. I toyed with having it be non-physical - but that can't get me high enough

I have built a lot of stuff in my SL life but this one is perplexing me - i know it's probably simple so i apologize to the gurus

thanks in advance to anyone with the smarts !

I believe you want
llSetStatus(STATUS_ROTATE_X, FALSE);
llSetStatus(STATUS_ROTATE_Y, FALSE);
llSetStatus(STATUS_ROTATE_Z, FALSE);

for more info on llSetSTatus, check:

also you should note the note on how llSetStatus is ultra sticky. It is rather important if you ever want that prim to rotate ever again, ever.

thanks! Very handy! I dont know how i missed that - but i did...

I'd love to test it - dang 1.5 upgrade - how long can it take! ARGH! I WANT IN!!

yes that does seem ultra-sticky - but i CAN turn it back on by setting it to TRUE can't i?

Sure can. This also works:

llSetStatus(STATUS_ROTATE_X | STATUS_ROTATE_Y | STATUS_ROTATE_Z, FALSE);

thanks G! I'd have asked you in world - but - I STILL CANT GET IN !

maybe i need to see someone about this, i am a wreck without SL!

no worries, with all the 1.5 related troubles anyway, you're not missing much. Yes you can restore movement along the specified axis by setting the value to true.
