slow down heading changes?

Asked by Andy Dolph

when using the heading change there does not appear to be any way to change the speed at which the heading changes - I'd like to slow it down dramatically both for live use and in scripts, without having to make changes 1 degree at a time.

I tried adjusting the move_speed in the config file and it had no effect
it also appears that the zoom_speed has no effect though other things in the config do...

I'm on Mac OSX and compiled from BZR if that matters.

Thanks!!

Andy

Scripting: set heading 90 duration 10

Sorry, needs to be documented.

Live it uses the zoom duration setting for the delay.

ok - so I figured out that I can use the "set auto_move_duration" in a script to change the speed when I change headings in the TUI, but when I use "set heading" in a script it's instant.

Is there any way to slowly rotate the sky from facing south to facing north in a script?

thanks!!

I think we posted that at the same time - thanks!!

are there other script commands that have undocumented ability to set a duration?

thanks again

Not as far as I remember. Most everything is well documented.
