Answered // Is there any way to control a hinge or rotor using Vizzy?

I'm very new to using vizzy but one way I have controlled hinges is to assign a slider to that hinge and then program vizzy to "set slider 'x' to 'y'", and that will let you control a hinge with vizzy

I'm not sure if by "without using the sliders" you mean not involving them at all, or just not having to manually set them in the UI. If the former, follow AnotherFireFox's suggestion. However, if it is just the latter then the xml modification is unnecessary and you can just use the set [Slider 1] to [number] craft instruction.

You can use a variable to control the hinge rotator with some xml modding..

Set Variable yourVariableNameHere to someValue
and go to inputController of the part in the xml
input=yourCommandPodNameHere.FlightProgram.yourVariableNameHere
