Moving Models DTech

[DKealt]

Having a few issues with this program.

I'm adding it to a ship that has a rear section that starts Horizontal, but ends up Vertical once raising Weapons.

The scripting won;t let me reach 90 degrees, Once put put the rotational value past 1.0 the models parts still don't move any further, but instead begin to increase or decrease in scale? This I find most confusing.

This is the current plugin ...

abbrev = 'MartinsShip'
iconName = 'MartinsShip'
longName = 'Martins Ship'
shipFile = 'MartinsShip'
species = 815
SubMenu = 'Other'
menuGroup = 'Stargate Ships'
playerMenuGroup = 'Stargate Ships'

Foundation.ShipDef.MartinsShip = Foundation.ShipDef(abbrev, species, { 'name': longName, 'iconName': iconName, 'shipFile': shipFile, 'SubMenu': SubMenu })
#Foundation.ShipDef.MartinsShip.fMaxWarp = 3.2
#Foundation.ShipDef.MartinsShip.fCruiseWarp = 2.8
Foundation.ShipDef.MartinsShip.desc = ''
Foundation.ShipDef.MartinsShip.dTechs = { 'SubModel': {

wow, that's pretty wierd! What if you do it in increments? I'm not sure how BC relates to the angles you give it, are they absolute to the original orientation, or relative? ie, if you told it to rotate by .75, then by .75, would it stay in the same place, or advance to (hopefully) 1.5?
