On a stick

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
Ok I have a stick actor and a box actor I have the box constrained to the left side of the stick. Now I want the stick to rotate on the end of the stick but one I put the rotate behavior on it the stick rotates and the STUPID box stays there. What am I not doing right.

Thanks Shanemc

    Are you trying to make the box rotate with the stick like the arrow point on a clock hand

    I actually work with a number of kids with disabilities so it just bugs me.

    Sorry my comments are delayed low reception here and Scitunes my son is on the spectrum.
    A couple ways to do it 1 make a graphic of your stick with box at end but make it so that there is actually an invisible half of the graphic so it rotates like a clock hand or you could do some math which I can't help you with or I think there is a tutorial that has the math for objects rotating around an actor.

    you can just constrain the box's x position to the sticks position x * cos(stick's rotation) and the y to stick's y position * sin(stick's rotation)

    Trigonometry saves the day!

    Ok so I'm doing something wrong I don't under stand where i get the rotation from

    Constrain a game attribut to the sticks rotation, and use that game attribute.
