Moving Parts on a Sideways Capsule (Submarine)[SOLVED]

[pdunton]

Hi,  I am making a bunch of FPC Submarines and I want to make thier parts move. (Propellers, Periscopes ect.)  The problem is, that the parts are a child of the Hull, which is a sideways Capsule, or are sideways themselves and when i try to use iTween Rotate to, they end up turning really wierdly and wrong.  To be more specific, I cant get them to rotate like a normal Propeller.  They glitch through the sub.  I have looked at the Space option Self, but no change.  If you have an idea, tell me, or ask me to attach the subs so you can do it.  Thanks!!!

Why are you using iTween? Why not just set the rotation everyframe? What controls do you need? Speed? Direction?

Im kinda new to Playmaker, and have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry!  But i will check those things out.

Hi! It sounds weird that they would do this - you say you have tried changing the space parameter to its local rotation axis instead of world?

I would, as suggested above, use rotate and use every frame for it instead of using Itween.

This shouldn't be too hard to achieve - simply make the propeller rotate at a certain speed every frame in it's local axis should do the trick

Okay Everybody,  I am new to Playmaker so i don't really know what action this is.  I am currently messing with Set Rotation.  The FSM is on the Propeller and the object set to self.  When I enter the scene and select the propeller, the little compass in the corner says i should rotate it along the Z axis, but on the object, the green arrow, which represents the Y axis, is pointing in the compass's Z.  And the Z pointing downward on the compass's Y.  So do I rotate it along Z or Y?  Also when i start the game the propeller looks a little off, but is not rotating constantly.  I will attatch the basic sub, The GreenSub.  Propeller5 is a child of the FinalSubmarine, Which is a child of Greensub.  I want the propeller to spin.  Feel free to try.  And possibly in the future if i can understand this, I might try to make it spin only when the sub is moving.  Perhaps....
Thanks!  (And sorry for being a dunce)

Forgot to attach the Sub.
Thanks!

Weird Bug with the sub not moving.  Forget the attachment, becuase.....   I found out that it is Rotate not set rotation!!!!!  Problem solved!!!  Anybody has an idea to make it spin when the sub is moving?  It moves by ASDW, and I think it would be cool if while W is held down, spin one way, and when S is down, spin the opposite way!!!!!!  So I solved the main problem, and now I guess i changed this to make the propeller spin left when W is down and right when S is down.  (Or vice versa)
Thanks!
And sorry!

I am sorry to kinda do all the talking, but i have just set it up and helped myself.  The propellers turn forward and backward or not at all using some Get Key Down and Up. So to summarize,  I deem this problem SOLVED!!!  Thanks to everyone who helped.  If anyone would like to know how i did this just ask on this forum.
Thanks!
