I’d like a windmill type effect on a mesh that I’’ spawning in via unrealscript, such that the mesh continually rotates.
Any tips on how I can do this?
Should I be spawning in a matinee for this?
Thanks in advance.
I ended up doing this, which works great:
class MyRotatingActor extends StaticMeshActor;
//-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
//Default properties
//-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
defaultproperties
{
Begin Object Name=StaticMeshComponent0
StaticMesh=StaticMesh'Somemesh'
End Object
bStatic=false
bMovable=true
Physics=PHYS_rotating
RotationRate=(Pitch=0,Yaw=20000,Roll=0)
}
In the tick, get the actor rotation, add to rotation.yaw a value*Deltatime, then do a actor.setrotation(rotator).
Weird to ask for a static mesh to rotate… Interpactor surely.
-anyway, just incase anyone else searches for a similar category this code is available online.

Used it years ago. pretty sure its fine*
