Maybe you do need to use ‘7’.
Here is the code I use to change the pitch on my barge object.
No problem stretching it to or from zero.
r = 0.350
HSID = HSID +1
hotspot 0, 0, 0, HSID, Ptch_Inp, 6 !center of angle
HSID = HSID +1
hotspot r, 0, 0, HSID, Ptch_Inp, 4+128 !base hotspot
HSID = HSID +1
hotspot r * cos (Ptch_Inp), 0, r * sin (Ptch_Inp), HSID, Ptch_Inp, 5 !moving
HSID = HSID +1
hotspot 0, -1, 0, HSID, Ptch_Inp, 7 !center of angle
HSID = HSID +1
