rotate w/out leaving course

jad

I have actors fall from the top of the screen, but i don't know how to make them spin, w/out veering off course and hitting the sides of my scene, can i make it stay on course and spin at the same time

Have you tried using the Rotate (http://gamesalad.com/wiki/behaviors_reference:rotate) behaviuour which gives you a constant rotation either clockwise or counter-clockwise along with a set speed?

jad

I have, but when i do this, as well as turning the amount, it also goes that way

The behavior you are using to move must be set to "relative to actor." Change it to "relative to scene" then you can rotate without it changing the trajectory.

jad

thx, but how do i set it to rotate relative to scene, as there is no option in the behaviour to do so

b2iscool

no in your move att make it reletive to scene

micksolo

yeah in your chg velocity or move rule (whichever you're using) next to direction click "relative to scene".

jad

ahhh, thx

wait, but what i want for it to do is to spin, do i not use the rotate behavior for this?

b2iscool

just use linear velocity y in the individual actor and turn gravity off more efficient

jad

in laymans terms?

OKAY FINALLY GOT IT thx..
