Making drawbridges

[TheManWithoutAPlan69]

I've been trying to make a drawbridge that works similar to elevators (push button to make a platform rotate). Standard elevators have the SimpleElevatorMaster (or even the SimpleElevatorPackin) that includes the Elevator Master and all the necessary custom links to the button, elevator helper and platform. However, that's only useful for platforms that need to go up and down and won't be compatible with platforms that need to rotate ~90 degrees.

 

I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a drawbridge that's activated by a button too similar to these elevators. Essentially I need a platform that will rotate up and down 90 degrees if a button is pressed. The 'hinge' part would stay in the exact same place, but the opposite end of the platform would move up and down. Would anyone have a script to do that or is there a workaround with the vanilla scripts in the Creation Kit?

 

Thanks in advance!

I believe there is a rotate helper in CK, not sure what its name is ATM. Once you find the name, you could look thru the various cells and see where and how it is used. I seem to recall it being used in/near a junk yard.

you mean like the drawbridges that exist in the game, but animated?

There is an animated drawbridge in the game - made out of a crane I think - in a junk yard. Sorry I can't remember where either, but it definitely does what you want (button controlled etc).

Yes, there is.

It's in the scrapyard with all the gunners up north, east of Saugus Ironworks.

Hub City Auto Wreckers - now I remember.

I believe that the DD Productions AIO mod has a functioning drawbridge in it.
