Circular Movement

I've been trying to get an actor moving in a circle and I'm having difficulty with it.

The tutorial here doesn't seem to be working for me: http://gamesalad.com/wiki/how_tos:gsc_circular_movement

Does anyone have any tips?

I actually just tested that code out last night and it worked without any problems. Can you elaborate on what sort of issues you are having?

Make sure your self position x and self position y attributes are selected from the attribute list and not just typed it, and sin and cos need to be selected from the other drop down menu, you cant just type sin and cos in the attribute browser.

Thanks Rattlehead.

JohnP- I'll take a look, I may have just typed in the expressions.

I don't need an initial acceleration of movement to I to start constraining against do I? Ironically I'm having great success prototyping and accomplishing other things. It is a great tool for someone who used to program and gets the logic but would get hung up on the language/details.

Thanks!

Hi I have a question does the above only work with the center of the scene or can it be positioned in a selected x and y position? Ah don't worry found it!
