rotating an object via a key command

This is my explanation of the command written some years ago in the object guide available here: http://bve.altervista.org/guide.html (the download link is at the right of the bench picture).

Rotate,Ax,Ay,Az,Theta Rotate the geometric figure in the space
Parameters:
Ax Rotation around the X axis horizontal (0 or 1)
Ay Rotation around the Y axis vertical (0 or 1)
Az Rotation around the Z axis longitudinal (0 or 1)
Theta Rotation angle in degrees (from -359 to 359): positive values give a counterclockwise rotation and negative values give a clockwise rotation (Viewing along axis in positive direction).

Ax, Ay and Az can take the value of 0 or 1 in this way:
1, 0, 0, - the rotation is around the axis X (horizontal).
0, 1, 0, - the rotation is around the axis Y (vertical)
0, 0, 1, - the rotation is around the axis Z (longitudinal)
0, 0, 0, - this is a special case, same as 1, 0, 0, (i.e. rotate around X axis only).

It’s possible to rotate simultaneously the object on more than one axle using more parameters A.. = 1, but the result is difficult to control: to have better control it’s better to use more consecutive Rotate instructions, each one having only one A.. = 1 parameter set.

This instruction is indispensable to orientate solids created with the Cube or Cylinder method, that otherwise are always set vertical. It works equally well (but has little sense) for figures defined using AddVertex / AddFace methods

The Rotate instruction for CSV format has no official corresponding in B3D format.

I realize just now that there is an error: it's written counterclockwise instead of clockwise and vice versa...

However this is the way BVE seams to work.

Rotate,0,0,0,0 = don't rotate (same as rotate,,,,)

Code:

[Object]
Position = 0, 0, 0
States = APT_Driving_Trailer.csv
statefunction = if[ pluginstate[20] | RotateYFunction = -[0.1]]



[Object]
Position = 0, 0, 0
States = APT_Driving_Trailer.csv
statefunction = pluginstate[21]
RotateYFunction = [0.2]

Code:

[Object]
Position = 0, 0, 0
States = APT_Driving_Trailer.csv
RotateYFunction = if[pluginstate[20], -0.1, if[pluginstate[21], 0.2, 0]]
