rotate object

[sopphinken]

Is there anyway to rotate an object around another object's pivot?

[openspark]

There are several ways. You can set the other object to be the parent of the
object to rotate. You can use multiply() with the transforms of the pivot
object and the object to rotate. Or you can simply use the following syntax
with the rotate() method:

v3DMember = member("3D Member Name")
vObjectToRotate = v3DMember.model("Rotating Object Name")
vPivotObject = v3DMember.model("Pivot Object Name")
vPosition = vPivotObject.worldPosition
vAxis = randomVector() -- replace with the (unit) vector that defines the
axis of rotation
vAngle = random(360) -- replace with the angle you want to turn

vObjectToRotate.rotate(vPosition, vAxis, vAngle, #world)

Take a look at rotate in the dictionary and the optional parameter
relativeTo.
