Need help sticking actor to rotating actor

TackyAttack

So I have a long stick that stays in one position and rotates. I need to constrain a small box actor to the end of that stick, so when the stick rotates the box actor stays on the end.

Here is a picture to explain more:

Does the Stick go in a complete circle? You could fake it by just putting the box in an orbit cycle around the stick at the same speed. Then it would look like it was going with it.

Look at e orbit thread on the main page for a demo

Yes, it does go in a complete circle. But it stops and goes in both directions at different speeds.

I think you could fudge this using orbit. Check out the demo I made last night, it's now on page two. The title has something like math heads, orbit around a point

constrain yellow.x to pink.x +((pink.width/2) * (cos (pink.rotation)))
constrain yellow.y to pink.y +((pink.width/2) * (sin (pink.rotation)))

rob 2,

is yellow.x (the yellow actor self.position.x) ?

is the pink.x an real global attribute called pink ?

im a bit confused ... cheers

cool. thanks!

Is there anyway to make this so there can multiple objects orbiting at different sides?
