Oh, my fault. You should say O.actions to get a BexContainer object, 
which then accepts addForce etc methods. Make sure you run at least 
r1727 where I added the addForce method.

DeusExMachina("InterpolatingSpiralEngine") works fine here. Can you post 
your code (whole script preferrably).

Have a look at InterpolatingSpiralEngine header, in 
pkg/common/Engine/DeusExMachina/RotationEngine.hpp, all parameters are 
commented. thrAxRad is a leftover variable, it should be some number, 
simply. I hope it is clearer now.
