Can you apply multiple operations in EzRotate one after the other? Here's my example, which I'm struggling with...

I want to turn my vehicle, then PolyAlign it to the terrain beneath...

EZro_SetEuler...
EZro_SetPos...
EZro_TurnTo...
EZro_FindAxisAngles???
EZro_PolyAlign...(using EZro_GetAxisAngleY())

Something somewhere isn't doing what I expect, and it seems to go wrong when the vehicle traverses the hill, that is it "rolls" on it's Z-Axis

You have to PolyAlign FIRST. PolyAlign is a NEW orientation. Otherwise, it isn't based on ANYTHING but the normal and the Y-angle that you pass to it. After you set your rotation up with that, you can use some of the other features to modify it.

I'll see if I can do a quick modify of example 11 to do what you are trying to do.

Sir Batvink,
Here is a new example doing EXACTLY what you are trying to accomplish!
This example will have a Tank follow a matrix terrain through several waypoints. The waypoints are placed randomly and will show up as spheres in the demo.

Place the attachment in your "help/ezrotate" folder and run it from there so it finds the media.

I hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

-Ron

Thank you again, Lord Wolf. This is one demo worth adding to your collection, very useful indeed.

When I see it, it makes sense. Until I see it, I might as well stare at a blank wall!

You see, guilt is driving you to assist me now. Those days of killing me in the fields and stealing my wench are haunting you, coaxing you into making amends.

lol

Like most wench's, I'm just being nice so maybe, just maybe, you'll take her back.

Actually, I like to do the BEST that I can to support my products. The goal of EZrotate is to make things like this possible. While I can't do something specific for EVERYONE, when I see a something that could easily be written by me that could help a lot of users, it is well worth my time.
The more people that start to grasp some of the features, the more people that there are to help some of the newer users. Also if you see someone else asking how to do something similar, you will probably now recommend EZrotate to them. That is GOOD for me

Enjoy!
