Would it be possible to specify the direction a rotating object, um, rotates ?

Obviously this wouldn't apply to turrets, but could add some nice touches when ships dock etc etc.

I was thinkin' may a sexp or some form of table entry ?

Yeah, you can rotate on the X, Y, or Z axes, clockwise or counter-clockwise. What more could you want?

HINT: If you want it to go the other way, just put in a negative value for the rotation.

I'm not sure you can reverse them in-mission though, if that's what you're asking.

So that's who you were.  You're abandoning your 1600 posts to take on a new name?

Give a man fire and he'll be warm for a day, but set fire to him and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
