ConstantRotation

Inherits Rotation

This rotation type will cause a scene graph node to rotate about the provided axis at a fixed and constant rotation speed.

Members

Name	Documentation	Type	Description	Optional
RotationAxis	This value is the rotation axis around which the object will rotate.	Vector3<double>	In range: ( {-1,-1,-1},{1,1,1} )	Yes
RotationRate	This value determines the number of revolutions per in-game second.	Double	Value of type ‘Double’	Yes

Inherited members from Rotation

Name	Documentation	Type	Description	Optional
Type	The type of the rotation that is described in this element. The available types of rotations depend on the configuration of the application and can be written to disk on application startup into the FactoryDocumentation	String	Must name a valid Rotation type	No
TimeFrame	The time frame in which this Rotation is applied. If the in-game time is outside this range, no rotation will be applied.	Table	TimeFrame	Yes

Asset Examples

Basic

This asset applies a rotation to a set of coordinate axes that makes them rotate at a constant rate of one revolution around the z-axis every 2 seconds.
