Rotation script that doesn't reset?

You'd think it would be simple - a rotation script that doesn't reset every time someone right-clicks on the object - but I'm having the hardest time finding one.

I'm making a merry-go-round, and I have a script that will let me turn it on/off by touch, but every time -anyone- right-clicks on the object, it snaps back to the starting position, which just doesn't work for something that people are riding.

Any suggestions?

If you could post the script you're using Cahliah, I'm sure myself or someone else could look at it... It's probably using llTargetOmega which is client-side rotation and I think kinda unavoidable that it's gonna just snap back to the starting position when you toggle on and off- probably would need to remove the TargetOmega and replace it with a different form of rotation to fix this...

The script I'm using is as follows:


// Simple rotation script using targetomega
//
vector axis = <0,0,1>;
//
float spinrate = 1.0;
//
float gain = 1.0;
//
//
// for a discussion on llTargetOmega values see
// http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llTargetOmega
//
integer on = FALSE;
//
//
// simple switch
// if on turn off
// if off turn on
//
switch()
{
if ( on )
{
llOwnerSay ( "Switching OFF rotation" );
on = FALSE;
llTargetOmega( <0,0,0>,0,0 );
}
else
{
llOwnerSay ( "Switching ON rotation" );
on = TRUE;
llTargetOmega( axis, spinrate, gain );
}
}

//
// At startup rotation is switched on automatically
//
init()
{
switch();
}

default
{
state_entry()
{
init();
}
on_rez( integer param )
{
init();
}
touch_start( integer num )
{
// Uncomment the following lines if you wish only the owner to have
// control over starting and stopping
if ( llDetectedKey(0) != llGetOwner() )
{
return;
}

// Touch to switch on and off
switch();
}
}



Is there a different form of rotation that might work? I'm definitely not the greatest at scripting - I mostly use found scripts.
Thanks.

You are using client side rotations, which . . . while great for lag on the sim doesn't have the same effect for all viewers, if you want all avatars to see the EXACT same thing for some reason have it actually rotate the object (note: this will increase lag in the area, however slightly)

That's what I figured. Is there anyone that can help me figure out how to do this?

if you want actual rotation, you can either use nonphysics rotation such as llSetRot and configure a timer to rotate in increments; or you can use physics rotation and the myriad of ways people use to rotate things physical (rotational impulses, torque, vehicle api, etc).
