Using llTargetOmega

If I use the following to start a prim rotating:

llTargetOmega(<0,0,1>,PI / 10,1.0); 

and then use the following to stop a prim from rotating:

llTargetOmega(<0,0,1>,0,0);

It stops and returns to the original rotation. How can I get it to stop at the current rotation instead of snapping back to 0 degrees?

Thanks!

One possibility is to make it physical. If you don't want that, you can do something like in this script, or you can use llRotLookAt.

Is there also a way to:

1. Get the current rotation
2. Then put it into the llTargetOmega(<0,0,1>,0,0); ?

1. A variant of the script linked to by Zepp could do that, but with normal, non-physical llTargetOmega - no; script cannot read the current rotation because it is potentially different on every resident's client!
2. If you could, then you would probably plug it into llSetRot rather than llTargetOmega.

OK, I get it now. I tried it and have it working. Thanks for yor responses. I really appreciate your help!!

Another solution which I have found to work quite well is... While the object is rotating you set the end rotation by SetRot. It will continue roating because TargetOmega is a client side animation and overides any SetRots. Since you know the rotation rate you can calculate the where it will be when you call a stop to the the TargetOmega.
I have used this for many things now swings, doors, and drawbridges. The other plus side is the is much less laggy then making an object physical. One set position and a call to stop the rotation. Don't have have use a bunch of SetPosition. It creates a nice smooth rotation without the physical side effect. Another plus is you can have a single object in a link set rotate smoothly as well. The timing is a bit tricky you have to plan in delays casued by the set rotations and by souds if you have any.
