8. ROTATING YOUR TORSO
The quickest way to get a foe who is not in the correct weapons arc into a firing arc is to rotate your torso. Rotating your torso takes no time, IE, is instantaneous. Your torso can be rotated in only 3 configurations: center (the norm), right and left. The effect of doing so is to move each arc 60 degrees to the right or left respectively:
The command to do this is rottorso <l|r|c>, with 'L' left 60 degrees, 'R' right 60 degrees, and 'C' center.
Note: the following pictures show the new arcs of the Mecha, for instance the forward arc is 60 degrees to the right from centered torso diagram for the follwing Right Torso diagram.
The degrees shown are just a sample of degrees for this situation. The mech is heading 0 degrees (feet facing) in this diagram. Graphic 4N
