I wrote a script to rotate a bridge. The script works fine except it rotates the material not the mesh. I'm using --> setRotation(e,x,y,z). After the rotation of say 90 degrees I can walk right through the bridge that I see and fall into the river. But when I go to where the original bridge was I can walk across it but cant see it.
I've tried other items and many settings but they all do the same thing. Any ideas???

Whenever you move or rotate an object you normally lose collision. I have found it works fine afterwards though. Perhaps try CollisionOff(e) before rotating and CollisionOn(e) afterwards? Not entirely sure this will have any effect, but is all I can think of off the top of my head.

Interesting, this might explain some issues I've been having with the command.

@DVader
That was my first thought with the collision, but that didn't work. I hope that it works correctly with v1.009.
I'm still trying to figure it out

I finally got it resolved -- Example:

CollisionOff(e)

GravityOff(e)

SetRotation(e,0,90,0)

CollisionOn(e)

GravityOn(e)

Seems to work fine now....

Thanks DVader for getting my brain to click...

UPDATE: With Beta v1.009 it works DVader's way - CollisionOff then CollisionOn - not sure why - but it works now
