Now Im dying to know how the script works.
Would be awesome if anyone could help me on this.

Rotate the entire room?

[_DanTheMan_]

This script uses two separate rooms, where the second room is an upside down version of the first. When you touch the trigger, you are teleported to the upside down room's ceiling (which is like the floor of the room you were in before) and turned upside down, then rotated and moved to the floor.

The rotating script, where 'time' is the distance between the floor and the ceiling divided by a set speed:

Code: Select all

self setPlayerAngles((self getPlayerAngles()[0]*-1, (self getPlayerAngles()[1]*-1) - 180, 180));
for(i = 0;i/20 < time;i++)
{
	self setPlayerAngles(self getPlayerAngles() - (0, 0, (180/time)/20));
	wait 0.05;
}

Dan himself replied

Uh. I thought it was something else as setplayerangles
But thanks

You thought he actually changed the direction of gravity

[Nekoneko]

haha, no, but I thought he somehow linked the player to a script_model and turned it, since the movement looked so smooth.

A lot more elaborate than I thought, but in essence the same thing.

May I ask the point of the "180/time", or simply why the distance of the room matters. I might just be missing something, but creating a smooth view rotation can be accomplished with a set value...

The 180/time and the distance of the room mattered in this script because it was made to be used for multiple rooms, which may have different ceiling heights (so it would move you at the same speed regardless of the height of the room).

But my problem is, it gets less smooth, the faster it is.
Guess you cant help it tho x.x
