Rotate with a button

carter

i have a game going where I need to rotate an actor with a button. You press the button for right and it goes from straight (horizontal) to 45 degree angle right. The same goes for left. How would I go about this

AfterBurnett

Use the "rotate to" behaviour. So your actor buttons would have something like this: "when touch is pressed, rotate to (whatever angle you want)"

OR you could interpolate the rotation.

OK when I do this it rotates one way but not the other
any solutions?
Thanks

If you want it to rotate left, use negative numbers: rotate e.g. "-45.0". I'm not in front of GS right now but I'm pretty sure that's how it works ;-)

im not on my mac either but im like 99% sure your right. I think the center is zero so right would be positive and left negative numbers. Also on the regular rotate behavior there clockwise and couter clockwise but cant remember if its the same for rotate too lol

Tis right; I've just done a little test to remind myself that it works! :-)
