hello all What I have is an object of a pulley that needs to follow the car, and spin on its roll axis but follow the car. what I did is this
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
action PulleyFollow()
{
you = pChassis;
while(1)
{
var temp;
temp +=1;
vec_set(my.pan,pChassis.pan);
vec_set(my.tilt,pChassis.tilt);
vec_set(my.roll,temp);
vec_set(my.x,vector(-85,-3,-17)); // set Pulley model about the entity center
vec_for_ent(my.x,you); // convert the position to world coordinates
vec_to_ent(my.roll,you);
wait(1);
}
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////
if i dont use the vec_set(my.roll,temp); the pulley will follow in the right place but no spin. I am new to coding so i am sure i am going around my elbow to find my foot. Can any one please help!

If I got you right (if you need model to chase an other model and turn on its roll), then you are doing wrong... Here is what I can offer:
action follower()
{
VECTOR temp;
while(1)
{
vec_set(temp.x,player.x); // turn to player
vec_sub(temp.x,my.x);
vec_to_angle(my.pan,temp);
my.roll += 10 * time_step; // play with 10
wait(1);
}
}
This will turn model to player and will turn its ROLL as well. All you need now, is adapt this to your needs (ENTITY* pChassis etc) and move it with C_MOVE instruction. If you'll need help PM me. Enjoy.

Try replacing your 3 lines vec_set(my.pan,pChassis.pan);
vec_set(my.tilt,pChassis.tilt);
vec_set(my.roll,temp);with this one line vec_set(my.pan, vector(pChassis.pan,pChassis.tilt,temp));And let us know how it goes... Otherwise try this(untested)
action PulleyFollow()
{
you = pChassis;
var temp = 0;
while(1)
{
temp += 1;
vec_set(my.pan, vector(pChassis.pan, pChassis.tilt, temp));
vec_set(my.x, vector(-85,-3,-17)); //set position offset from UN_TURNED chassis
vec_rotate(my.x, pChassis.pan); //rotate by chassis angle
vec_add(my.x, pChassis.x); //position AT chassis
wait(1);
}
}
