Rotating Objects

[Kardelen]

I should be able to rotate objects on air (wingardium leviosa) using q and e buttons but nothing happens. Is this a bug?

Some items can be levitated but not rotated, there's a merlin trial where you can levitate a block but you have to use flipendo to move the sides around instead of the Q/E buttons.

[Kardelen]

I guess I am that location. I did what you suggested but as soon as I levitate the object it turns again on air and we cannot use flippendo and wingardium leviaso simultaneously.

If it's the trial I'm thinking of, the block is sitting on a dais with symbols on it; You need to use flippendo to move the block around so that the symbols on the faces align with the symbols on the dais. You can levitate it to see what's on the bottom of the block, but that's it.

The block can be 'flipendoed' on 2 different axes depending on your position in relation to the column. Flip it from the front then stand to one side.

I don't think Kardelen is talking about the Merlin's trial. I have the same issue, for some treasure vaults. Q and E where not working as I assigned Protego and the roll to it.
In the options, I just found out there is a way to change the mapping for these actions (there is a specific option group for Wingardium Leviosa)
Hope this helps =)

Keep slapping it with Flipendo from different sides, eventually the runes will line up... no Wingardium needed.

So I just used a very inefficient method, because I don't have Flipendo yet. I used Depulso to launch the blocks towards the wall. In the very small chance that you actually get the block to fly to the correct spot, it's a 1 in 6 chance you get the proper side to land on the wall, and from there another 1 in 4 chance on top of that where the arrow is facing the right direction. Took about 15 minutes, but it worked.

After 50 hours of gameplay, I JUST figured this out after attempting to Depulso a block around a stupid treasure chest room only to have the block 'revert' whenever I Wingardium'ed.

On the keyboard-mouse setup, you have to *hold down* or possibly *press multiple times rapidly* the rotation keys in order to get the blocks to rotate as anticipated. Why?? I have no idea and it's frustrating as all get out. I hope this helps you!

Edit: I should say that the Merlin Trials where you have to align the symbols - that you have to flipindo on the various sides. Wingardium can be cast, but it won't let you rotate those blocks.

OMG i was struggling so much with treasure vaults when you need to rotate stones to get a chest
AND THEN I FIGURED IT OUT!
You need to press Shift and Q or E, it helped to rotate them

Rotate items with the scroll wheel.
Q and E cycle through the preset appearances for the item.
