Rotor Module
The rotor module allows the user to control rotors on the grid. Rotors are particularly vulnerable to phantom forces and the Almighty Clang, so we leverage the Activity Monitor to ensure rotors 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 the grid ripping itself apart.
Commands
rotate
Rotate a rotor or group of rotors to a specific angle between -360 and 360 degrees.
rotor/rotate <Rotor|Group> <Angle> [--options]
Options
| Option | Values | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
speed | -5.0 - 5.0 | RPM | Set the speed of the rotor. Negative values will reverse the rotor. Default is 1 RPM. |
Example
rotor/rotate AntennaRotor 90 --speed=2.5;
lock
Lock a rotor or group of rotors.
rotor/lock <Rotor|Group>
Example
rotor/lock AntennaRotor;
unlock
Unlock a rotor or group of rotors.
rotor/unlock <Rotor|Group>
Example
rotor/unlock AntennaRotor;
reset
Reset a rotor or group of rotors to their original position (0 degrees).
rotor/reset <Rotor|Group>
Example
rotor/reset AntennaRotor;
speed
Set the speed of a rotor or group of rotors in RPM.
rotor/speed <Rotor|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. | ||
sub | Indicates that the provided speed should be subtracted from the current speed. Allows decremental speed changes while in motion. |
Example
Set speed to 2 RPM:
rotor/speed AntennaRotor 2;
Increase speed by 2.5 RPM:
rotor/speed AntennaRotor 2.5 --add;
Decrease speed by 1 RPM:
rotor/speed AntennaRotor 1 --sub;
