Flipping a vehicle on it's side

[aLlamaWithARifle]

I want to be able to flip a car on to it's side as if an explosion next to it caused it.

How would I go about doing this? I don't just want the car to appear on it's side but more like be flipped so there is a transition between car right way up and car on it's side.

Don't entirely understand it, but after playing around with setVectorDirAndUp this seems to be pretty reliable in setting a vehicle on it's side facing north:

Code: [Select]

this setvectordirandup [[0,0.5,0.5],[0.5,1,1]];
Now, if you want it to actually flip in real time while the player is watching but without an explosion you'd be better of reading this thread and learning trig.

Well I do plan on putting an explosion in the midst so it looks like the explosion flipped the car. Does that make it easier?

Thanks a lot I'll read through that thread and see what I can come up with
