Rotate pipe entities

Post by protocol_1903 »

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to rotate pipe entities. In this case, I mean non-standard pipes with only two outputs, opposite from each other. Like this:

It would only have the two pipe_connections, opposite from each other. Do I need to specify a flag or property not specified in the docs? Any help would be appreciated.

No, that is not possible. Pipes are not considered rotatable (hasDirection is false).

If you're looking for a pipe with pipe connections only in some specific spots and the ability to be rotated, a storage tank may do the job.
