Vice City: Multiplayer

I have a sprite which represents a roulette wheel which I want to spin like a roulette wheel would do, but how can I achieve this?
I have tried passing different values to the Rotation3D parameter of Set3DTransform, for instance m_wheel.Set3DTransform(m_wheel.Position3D, Vector(2.0, 1.0, 1.0), m_wheel.Size3D); or m_wheel.Set3DTransform(m_wheel.Position3D, Vector(100.0, 0.0, 10.0), m_wheel.Size3D); but this does not have any effect.
The second thing I tried is adding a value to one of the rotation coordinates as follows:
local rot = m_wheel.Rotation3D;
rot.X += 10.0;
rot.Y += 10.0;
rot.Z += 10.0;
m_wheel.Set3DTransform(m_wheel.Position3D, rot, m_wheel.Size3D);
Again, this did not have any effect on the sprite's rotation.
I noticed there is a GUI_FLAG_3D_ENTITY flag for GUI elements which I am not sure what it is for. Hoping that it would enable setting the sprite rotation I did try to add it to my sprite, but this end up not showing the sprite at all.

Below you can find my clientside code along with a screenshot of how it looks like.
Any help on how to rotate the wheel is appreciated.

m_window <- null;
m_wheel <- null;
m_ball <- null;

// Window
m_window <- GUIWindow(VectorScreen(100, 100),
VectorScreen(450, 450),
Colour(0, 0, 0),
"Roulette Wheel",
GUI_FLAG_TEXT_TAGS );

m_window.AddFlags(GUI_FLAG_VISIBLE | GUI_FLAG_DRAGGABLE | GUI_FLAG_AUTO_RESIZE | GUI_FLAG_WINDOW_TITLEBAR);
m_window.RemoveFlags(GUI_FLAG_WINDOW_RESIZABLE);

// Wheel
m_wheel <- GUISprite("roulette-wheel.png", VectorScreen(0, 0));
m_wheel.Size = VectorScreen(450, 450);
m_wheel.AddFlags(GUI_FLAG_VISIBLE); // GUI_FLAG_3D_ENTITY
m_wheel.RemoveFlags(GUI_FLAG_MOUSECTRL | GUI_FLAG_DRAGGABLE | GUI_FLAG_AUTO_RESIZE);

// Ball

m_ball <- GUISprite("roulette-ball.png", VectorScreen(100, 0));
m_ball.Size = VectorScreen(16, 15);
m_ball.AddFlags(GUI_FLAG_VISIBLE);
m_ball.RemoveFlags(GUI_FLAG_MOUSECTRL | GUI_FLAG_DRAGGABLE | GUI_FLAG_AUTO_RESIZE);

// Attach
m_window.AddChild(m_wheel);
m_window.AddChild(m_ball);

m_wheel.Set3DTransform(m_wheel.Position3D, Vector(2.0, 1.0, 1.0), m_wheel.Size3D);

I do not see where
rot.X += 10.0;
rot.Y += 10.0;
rot.Z += 10.0;
Is being used for.. But you know the script way better than I do..

You should play with

::m_wheel.Rotation3D = ( * PI / 180 );This should do something strange at least..

Sorry if wrong :D

3D rotation requires the 3D flag to be set, and 3D elements place the GUI into the game world instead of just flat on the screen. That's why rotation has no effect when unflagged and why it disappears when flagged.

I don't think client-side scripts can be rotated at the moment, though I think this is just an oversight that can be patched in pretty easily.

Wait... @motley is pi defined in Squrrel . Also it is infinite , π = 3.141592...Resulting maybe in a error or a glitch. LOL
:edit:  Didn't see @stormeus post...

It should either spin the wheel, or cause a crash(but should not). or disappear off the screen(but should not as I used a 180 rotation)

99.1 percent chance of rotating or doing something unknown.

I forget where I happened to see PI, But it is part of squirrel if i recall correctly,.

print( PI );It's still there.

you forgot print("" + PI + "");

print( format( "%.2f", PI ) );

Don't worry, the number is not that big :D

print functions accepts float, integers, strings etc

@KAKAN, You know nothing (http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/~huberty/math5337/groupe/digits.html)

Personal opinion on the topic is that, I also didn't notice any rotation functions for sprites, or am I confused with the function being available but not aware of it?

I was talking within Squirrel.
Squirrel won't return so large number. The output of pie must not be more than: 3.141592653
you can use print( PI ); to see it :D

You sure about that?

print(format("%.99f", PI));

I'm unsure what you're trying to prove.

Hopefully rotation methods can be added in the next update, right now we can't port any sprites such as speedometers or this roulette wheel as example.

I've tried adding the 3D entity flag and setting the 3D position to the position of the player to see what it does, but nothing seems to appear besides a load of these messages in the debuglog:
"Warning in RpGeometryStreamReadOperation::fixTriangleMaterialIndices: Fixed 1635072 invalid material indices in mesh triangle list"

Do you have an example on how to create 3D entities?
