Cargo containers. Spinning. No orders, no nothing. I place them in FRED, I play the mission, they spin on their axis. Every different container class, several different missions. It's driving me insane.

[colecampbell666]

Is there something colliding with them?

[Black Wolf]

Nope. There're seven cargo containers, just sitting in space, nothing else anywhere near them. Spinning.

[CP5670]

Do they spin slowly and steadily? If so, I've noticed this in certain situations too. I have no idea what exactly causes it, but it's not very common.

[terran_emperor]

could be some screwy file with rotation set in POFs of the cargo containers. Dont knowif this can be caused in FRED by clicking some option though

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Target them and see how much hull they have left.  They spin when they are dying don't they?  If you ever assigned them special hits the variables may have gotten screwed up resulting in 0 hull at start.  Had that happen a few dozen times now but not with cargo containers so I'm guessing. 

Also isn't there some new Newtonian flag?  Are you using it?

[colecampbell666]

In some mods (TVWP), weapons fire will spin them.

TAC 1's need to be fixed.
They shouldn't spin madly while exploding.

Mobius said that this was caused by creating a normal ship and then making it a cargo container, but I take it you haven't done so.

[Black Wolf]

I'm not shooting at them, and they are at 100% health.

CP: They do spin slowly and steadily.

No, but they were originally a different type of cargo container. I changed them before I'd played the mission for the first time. Lemme see...

Wahoo! OK, so now we know. Spinning cargo is caused by changing the class of any ship (including other cargo containers) to a cargo container. cheers everyone, especially Mobius/Snail.

Now that is a funny glitch.

Someone should make an AMV of this glitch with the Original and best version of "You spin me round" by Dead or Alive

Another game, but also spinning to the tune.

That would be pretty funny. I can just see a Deimos and a bunch of cargo containers spinning round and round and round...

[Goober5000]

What build are you using?  Because I just played with the most recent SVN checkout and everything is spinning -- far too much.  By comparison of builds, it seems to be something that was only added in the last week.

I had the same error quite a long time ago, though.

I just cleansed my install and redownloaded with Turey's installer, so whatever that's using at the moment - I'd assume the last official 3.6.9 release?

On a somewhat related note...

I might FRED this with the appropriate music track and edited POFs as a Joke Mission
