X Axis rotation while worn on an avatar.

[Yalc Shichiroji]

Ok, here's my issue. I have an oblong shield that once of my characters uses. The idea I have for the shield is that when not in use it is worn along the length of the arm, from wrist to shoulder, and when in use it swings around 90 degrees so that it lays across the arm like a normal carried shield would.

 

My question is would this be possible to achieve or would the rotation script not function properly when attached to an avatar rather than being in world?

It would not work to rotate by script
But you could have two shields attached, one in each position, with only one of them visible at a time
All you have to do is toggle alpha from 0% to 100% for one shield and do the opposite on the other shield

Assuming you want to rotate the whole apparatus through 90°, it's pretty straightforward.     Take a look at the chart in the wiki article on Rotation.

Something like this should do it:

rotation r90;default{    state_entry()    {        r90 = llEuler2Rot(<90.0,0.0,0.0>*DEG_TO_RAD);    }    touch_start(integer total_number)    {        llSetRot(r90*llGetLocalRot());        r90=ZERO_ROTATION/r90; //invert the rotation     }}
