I know that .T() is position, so I have 25 other letters to try while I wait for an answer here if anyone knows. I will post if my 25 letters attempts works or not.

R works for rotation. Since I only have about 7 to go, I am going to finish and see if anything other values are in there. Where is the documentation for this, because it sure is hidden? # test propName = "Spider" # -- Get Prop --# prop = RLPy.RScene.FindObject(RLPy.EObjectType_Prop, propName) # -- Get Transform Control and Data --# ts_control = prop.GetControl("Transform") time = RLPy.RTime() transform_for_ref = RLPy.RTransform() ts_control.GetValue(time, transform_for_ref) propX = transform_for_ref.R().x # Get Prop X rotation propY = transform_for_ref.R().y # Get Prop Y rotation propZ = transform_for_ref.R().z # Get Prop Z rotation print ("X: ") print (propX) print ("Y: ") print (propY) print ("Z: ") print (propZ) Creator of the free website: PixelDatabase.Net A Free Online Text Based Image Editor

Thanks I don't think the algorithm is too hard, but now what I need to figure out is if a spider is rotated x degrees, walks forward for y seconds, at z speed, where will the spider be? I have all the information except possibly the brain power to figure this out. Going jogging while I think about this.
