I have an object (not a character) following a waypoint, Bond's sawblade. I want the blade to move edge on, something like this (blade behind arrow moving upwards):

|-----------|
|...^.......|
|...B.......|
|...L.......|
|...A.......|
|...D.......|
|...E.......|
|-----------|

But instead, it moves like this:

|-----------|
|...........|
|...^.......|
|..BLADE....|
|...........|
|...........|
|...........|
|-----------|

I've tried turning it in the editor but it always moves forward flat edge first. How would I get it to move edge on?

meh.. looks better when editing but you get the general idea

The only things I can think or are..

rotatey = 90 in the fpi or...
offy = 90 in the fpe.

Best.

Just tried those Xplosys but there's no difference, the blade is still moving flat edge on.

Then the only other thing I can think of is to rotate the model in a modeling program.

Best.

That's the one thing I didn't want to do as I'm no modeller and don't have any modelling program. I'll try that as a last resort if it can't be done any other way.
