Rotating Platform

I've seen platforms that rotate slowly, and if you walk onto them and stand on them... you move along with them. However, so far the various methods I've tried to replicate this don't work. Just standing on an object -- not using the "sit" option, or an custom animation -- doesn't seem to make you interact with it enough to get shifted as it rotates under you.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this, without having to use some kind of custom "just stand there" animation inside the rotating platform?

What methods have you tried? llTargetOmega() wont work because it doesn't physically rotate an object. Only visually.

You could try adding some small invisible ridges to the top of a physical object that is spinning around. The ridges will help it to grip the avatar and push/pull the avatar around.

Yeah, I know llTargetOmega is just a client-side visual; what I have tried is variations on using the different SetRots, both with the platform (very short cylinder) as a standard prim, and as a physical object. No dice so far.

A physical object, probably held in place with llMoveToTarget , and using a timer event, nudged with llApplyRotationalImpulse for the rotation.

Note also that llTargetOmega has a server-side, "real" effect on physical objects and may be more useful to you here than applying impulses.
