I need help with the X Y Z measurement to get a box standing on one of the corners... and then rotating perfect around it own axis....

The rotating script I have.. But the perfect measurement are not my strong part in life..


Pls some????

Its not for spam or ridiculous ads/banners in SL:-DDDDD

this should rotate a cube to its exact (or close) corner:
vector eul = <0,45,45>; //45 degrees around the z-axis, in Euler form
eul *= DEG_TO_RAD; //convert to radians
rotation quat = llEuler2Rot(eul); //convert to quaternion
llSetRot(quat); //rotate the object
And llTargetOmeaga(llEuler2Rot(<0,0,45> * DEG_TO_RAD, PI/5, 1); should set it spinning on the world Z-axis but it has been so long since I messed with this and have not tested this.

I just tried something simple that worked.

I created a block, and rotated it on a 45 degree X and 45 degree Y axis in Edit, and changed the texture one side to be sure to see what was happening.

Then I put in the following simple script (a freebie one I got)


default
{
state_entry()
{
llTargetOmega(<0,0,1>,PI,1.0);
}

}

And that seemed to do what you're asking if I understand you correctly.

If you change the third value of <0,0,1> it changes the speed of the rotation, if you need to.... I found 0.1 to be adequate for my needs.

Presumably messing with the figures in the <0,0,1> will make it rotate other axes.

Give it a try.... it may be what you were looking for. Be interesting to know if it did.

If you can spare an extra prim, and easy solution is just to use an invisible prim as an engine. Set your visible cube so it stands on a corner and then link it to an invisible prim that has zero rotation. Then drop a simple rotation script into the invisible parent.

With a freshly rezzed cube, make the X and Y rotations 45-degrees each... then, add the default "Rotation Script" from your Library-->Scripts inventory folder (the default LL stuff you get). And presto, rotating cube-on-end.
