Hinge Module
The hinge module allows the user to control hinges on the grid. Hinges are particularly vulnerable to phantom forces and the Almighty Clang, so we leverage the Activity Monitor to ensure hinges are stopped and locked when not in use. Players can simply define an angle and speed of rotation without worrying about direction, upper/lower limits, or their grid ripping itself apart.
Commands
rotate
Rotate a hinge or group of hinges to a specific angle between -90 degrees and 90 degrees.
hinge/rotate <Hinge|Group> <Angle> [--options]
Options
| Option | Values | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
speed | -5.0 - 5.0 | RPM | Set the speed of the hinge. Negative values will reverse the hinge. Default is 1 RPM. |

Set the speed of a hinge or group of hinges in RPM.
hinge/speed <hinge|Group> <Speed> <Options>
Options
| Option | Values | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
add | Indicates that the provided speed should be added to the current speed. Allows increment speed changes while in motion. | ||

Example
Set speed to 2 RPM:
hinge/speed LandingGearHinge 2;
Increase speed by 2.5 RPM:
hinge/speed LandingGearHinge 2.5 --add;
Decrease speed by 1 RPM:
