Problems with Rotation

dotsonj23 · May 2011

So I want an actor to rotate at speed 200 clockwise when X linear velocity is > than 0. Then want it to rotate at speed 200 counter-clockwise when X linear velocity < than 0. Works most of the time when set up that way using Rules and Accelerate behavior but sometimes it just stops rotating either way, even when I know X linear velocity is greater than 0 since I checked with display text bahavior. Any ideas?

Try something like this
Rule
When self.motion.linearvelocity.x ≠ 0
--Rule
--When self.motion.linearvelocity.x > 0
----Rotate Clockwise
--Otherwise
----Rotate Counter-Clockwise

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks. I'll try that after my kids go to bed and let you know if it works. Sounds like it might. I kept stripping out rules for my other complicated movements to see if they were the problem but finally got down to just the left right movement and rotate and it still did not work all the time. Hopefully this will work.

Not only did it work (even when I just placed in with my other set of complicated movement rules) but it fixed another issue I was having on another movement rule that I had thought was unrelated but apparently not. Thank you so much.

Glad to help.
