(josh65) Rotate display entity in place

[full loom]

I want to make a rotating blade with display entity's and have it rotate from the centre, 360 degrees. I know of adjust <server.flag[reactorCooler]> left_rotation:0,0,0,1 (reactorCooler being the entity tag of the block display) but no matter what value I change in the quaternion tag it jumps around the world. With current documentation it doesn't make sense to me on how it works.

Command I'm using to make the display entity

summon minecraft:block_display ~ ~ ~ {block_state: {Name: "minecraft:iron_block"}, interpolation_duration: 100, interpolation_start: -1, transformation: {left_rotation: [0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f], right_rotation: [0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f], scale: [20.0f, 2.0f, 0.5f], translation: [-10.0f, -1.0000002f, -0.25000006f]}, view_range: 2.0f}

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

yah fam, you put left_rotation:0 and probably should put left_rotation:<list[0,0,0,1]>
i can be wrong tho - make /ex narrate <server.flag[reactorCooler].left_rotation> first to get what element is in left_rotation - elementTag or ListTag

!prop left_rotation

Mechanism: left_rotation

(Property) A display entity's "left" rotation.
Note that !mechanism EntityTag.right_rotation is also available, but should normally use this instead.

It's a QuaternionTag ^

aey, i said to test it first with /ex narrate xd

bruh, i read "OutputTag" not "Input"

sorry

Is this what you want to do?

If so you can just

!c rotate

[median root]

Command: Rotate

Group

entity

Syntax

rotate (cancel) (<entity>|...) (yaw:<#.#>) (pitch:<#.#>) (infinite/duration:<duration>) (frequency:<duration>)

Short Description

Rotates a list of entities.

Description

Induces incremental rotation on a list of entities over a period of time.

The yaw and pitch arguments specify how much the entity will rotate each step. Default to 10 and 0 respectively.

The frequency argument specifies how long it takes between each rotation step. Defaults to 1t.

The duration argument specifies how long the whole rotation process will last. Defaults to 1s.
Alternatively, use "infinite" if you want the entity to spin forever.

You can use "cancel" to prematurely stop the ongo...

spawn the item display and then rotate it with that ^
