## Description

Sets the angular velocity of the object in model space as a 3D vector. The units are in Rad/s and rotations are clockwise.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Angular velocity is limited to a range of +-1000 Rad/s.

## Syntax

```sqf
obj setAngularVelocityModelSpace vector
```

**Parameters:**

- `obj`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)
- `vector`: [Vector3D](../topics/Vector3D.md) - angular velocity of the object in model space

**Returns:** [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md)

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
myHeli setAngularVelocityModelSpace [0,0,1]; // will cause the helicopter to spin around its main rotor shaft
```
