IDEA! in-game Item rotation, and mounting feature

[CK]

Have you always wanted to rotate that sword so it will fit on a shelf, or maybe that chair so you can actually sit at a table or mount that cool looking shield on the wall of your new home.

An item rotation feature would be perfect and it would work like the talk feature by pressing a key to get the crosshairs and the clicking the object to rotate, instead of placing the object on a carriage or ship and turning the ship to rotate the object, or having to throw out a chair because it's not facing the right direction. this feature would make ultima 7 PERFECT.

Hmm. The real idea is that you can use a ship to rotate some objects like chairs! I never thought about that. Thanks.

Sounds like a good idea for a number of reasons, should be easy to add, too - and it shouldn't in any way exploit the original game dynamics..

I always used the magic carpet in BG to rotate chests so they'd all line up in my storehouse.

Also the various planks and logs you find lying around. I always use those to build walls for my storeroom on a random island - and rotating them is sometimes necessary in order to make everything perfect.

Of course this is impossible in SI (no ships, carriages or magic carpets). So the rotation feature would definitely be nice there.

Oh yeah, I also used the Magic Carpet to rotate items. (Have you ever rotated a piece of armor on it? It doesn't take to rotating well at all. XD ) It would be very nice to have a rotate option in Studio.

This feature has been added to ExultStudio. The dialog that comes up when you double-click an object now has a button that rotates.

You could use the Magelords' little ship used to get to his SadoMaso retreat.
