We have mpitch, how about myaw?

I finally got an md3 model put into Cube2, and now I find out some parts can't be still while other parts rotate. (besides the spin command)

Specifically, I've loaded the model for the machine gun turret from Tremulous, after alot of fidgeting.

For you nitpickers, the license is the Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 Generic, so what I'm doing is ok.

I'm thinking an myaw model command could work just like the mpitch, and like 1 0 -180 180 would allow something to rotate completely.

I'll throw in that there could be a problem, as a sentry gun would have to rotate all the way around, so it would have to wrap, unlike models looking up/down.

Uhm, you /do/ know that the first entity attribute controls yaw, right?

Well that's all fine and dandy if I want to rotate an object in edit mode, except I'm talking about a model rotating some of it's parts.

mpitch is a setting in the md3 configuration which allows the controlling of pitch for each part of an md3 (and whichever else support it). I'm looking for something that allows for a single rotation of a part of the model, done by non-player action e.g. a nonrotating base and a rotating upper part.

You can't change the settings from the model-config in-game. IIRC there was a sauerbraten MOD that had auto-turrets and python-scriptable stuff (for mapping and in-game events). Can't remember the name ATM, but it looked really nice!

Now if the engine wouldn't do all kinds of caching, we could use /mapmodelreset to reload another model in-place! :P

(Seriously, though, quitting and restarting the whole game is annoying every time I want to do something trivial in a model CFG... or am I doing something wrong?)

I think the command is clearmodel. using that should force the engine to reload it, with the cfg.
