Basically what I'm trying to do is create a bar that will spin around an origin, i've attached image of what I mean.
I've achieved it with an inefficient code but I want to do it with arrays, though I don't fully understand how they work. This is what I've got so far

main()
{
 self.arm = getent("arm","targetname");
 spin_trigger = getentarray("spin","targetname");
 for(i=0;i<spin_trigger.size;i++)
 {
 //spin_trigger[i] EnableLinkto(); 
 //spin_trigger[i] Linkto( self.arm );
  while(1)
  {
  spin_trigger[i] waittill ("damage",dmg);
  self.dmg = dmg;
  thread spin();
  }
 }
}
spin()
{
speed = 300 + (self.dmg*4.5);
time = 1+(self.dmg/45);
direction = getent (self.target,"script_noteworthy"); //Here I want find out whether it's clockwise or anticlockwise trigger
if ( self.direction == "clockwise" )
	velocity = speed*-1;
else 
	velocity = speed;
self.arm rotatevelocity((0,velocity,0),time,0,time - 0.1 );
}

1. Could this be done with a singular trigger and the script works out which direction the impact was from so as to spin the right way?
2. How do you do link to for arrays?
3. How would I get script noteworthy for the individual trigger that was hit?
4. Could I get the distance from the spin centre to the point of impact?
