How to ramp up rotation?

[Moebius]

I have two large models that are concentric and counter rotate. I can get the final rotation I want in MODELDEF. But they're rotating from the get go at full speed.

Code: Select all

Model newreactorinnerring
{
	Path "Models"
	Model 0 "newreactorinnerring.obj"
	SurfaceSkin 0 0 "lfw20.png"
	Scale 1.0 1.0 1.2
	ROTATING
	Rotation-Speed 6
	Rotation-Center 0 0 0
	Rotation-Vector 0 0 -1

	USEACTORPITCH
	USEACTORROLL

	FrameIndex MDCA A 0 0
}
Model newreactorouterring
{
	Path "Models"
	Model 0 "newreactorouterring.obj"
	SurfaceSkin 0 0 "lfw31b.png"
	SurfaceSkin 0 1 "lfw4.png"
	SurfaceSkin 0 2 "mctc10.png"
	Scale 1.0 1.0 1.2
	ROTATING
	Rotation-Speed 2
	Rotation-Center 0 0 0
	Rotation-Vector 0 0 1

	USEACTORPITCH
	USEACTORROLL

	FrameIndex MDCA A 0 0
}

I want them to slowly pick up speed when triggered.

Anyone have a solution?

If you want to control their rotation in-game, you should not use MODELDEF for that and instead have the actors [wiki=A_SetAngle]change their angle in code[/wiki].

The MODELDEF rotation function is if you want models to always rotate. If you've ever played a game like Quake 3 Arena where the pickups are constantly rotating in place, that should give you an idea of the use-case for it.
