function discoTime ( player )
     -- Randomly choose a new player rotation and set it
     newRotation = math.random ( 0, 360 )
     setPlayerRotation ( player, newRotation )
end

function initiateDiscoMode ( player, commandName )
     --Trigger a random change in player rotation every second
     --Send the stored 'activating player' to the discoTime
     --function, so his rotation will be changed.
