Twisted connections?

[EatThePath]

Is there a way to put a rotation on a connection? So for example you could have a T connector that had a rotation on the bottom or top connection point, and attaching several in series could get you a spiral pattern? or to allow outriggers that turn tricouplers for working bilateral symmetry?

Yes, when defining an attachment node, parameters 4, 5 and 6 represent the direction of the 'up' vector for parts connected to that node.

node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -3.02662, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1

So, by default, these are set at 0,1,0, which means the up vector points up. But if one were to change those values, to, say, 1,0,0, parts connected to this node would be sideways.

Can this be used to rotate the part along its Y axis? I don't want to have a part point to the side, just have a different side of it 'forward'.

Ooo, could we use this for horizontal-launch from the Mun? Would need a horizontal command pod though...
