Whats wrong with this logic?

Player_E

So I have an actor that I made unmovable.

i can still move him around the screen by manipulating the X and Y positions. I want this same actor to be able to rotate as well, but non of the rotate functions work while actor is unmovable. When I make actor movable the collision with other actors makes him freak out and I have to put it back on unmovable.

Is there either
A) a way to make actor rotates while unmovable is checked.
or
a way to make it so he does not freak out when colliding with the other actors in the screen.

I cannot take off the collision because then actors get stuck on top of each other and I cannot get them off.

If its unmovable you should be able to interpolate rotation to get him to rotate.

And what do you mean by "freak out"

Player_E

When i say freak out I was just referring to actor bouncing and sliding across screen.

Thanks ill try the interpolate rotation idea

Player_E

found a flaw in changing rotation with interpolate.

I am rotating to a specific (X,Y) and interpolate only let s you put in one value.

You can pro use the vectortoangle(x,y) function to still get that angle.

@tenrdrmer
that seems to be on the right path, but not quite there yet. I have the following rule

Interpolate:
Self.Rotation to Vector to Angle (Hero Move X, Hero Move Y)
Duration 0.2 Function Linear

This somewhat works, but sometimes actor does not rotate the whole way.

I was going to type out this situation, but realized a video would probably be easy so you all can see what im talking about.

I'll get to work on one right now. should be up in about 20min

ok got the video up



I hope this makes things clear and you guys can see what i'm talking about.
