What can be done with dummy model of the caster system.

Hi,
Since I have no clue where to search for this I created a new thread.
For most of my spells I use the dummy model of the caster system because I don't need to create masses of dummies just for different models.

Can I rotate the dummy via animations to 90 / 180 / 270 degrees?
What else is there special about it?

As far as I know, the dummy model Vexorian uses is merely there so that he can rotate it (useful for Physics engines since pitch and roll are like... impossible to actually properly change).

So yeah, it appears it's there for ease of animation... rotating it in ways other than facing is pretty useful I guess.

It's also a massively small import.

Just curious, but is that model the easiest way of rotating along pitch and roll? Yaw is easy enough.

Yes, that would be the easiest way to do it.

In fact, I can't think of any OTHER way to do Pitch and Roll...

Ah, thanks for the answer.

What can I understand under pitch and roll?
