Interpolate Question

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
I have an actor I'm moving with Interpolate.

What is the method to get that actor to spin on it's axis in a continuous spin?

I've tried random(5,180) and various other combinations and I can get it to spin but only once.

Is there a method to interpolate spin on an actor a continuous spin?

Thanks!

    why dont you use the rotate behavior?

    our collectibles do that, and we just set them to rotate at X rate. you can combine that with interpolate...

    to have a continuos rotation with interpolate have it like so:

    have the actors rotation set at 0

    have a Rule: when attribute self rotation = 0
    -interpolate self.rotation to 360

    I didn't use the rotate because the actor is not movable so it won't work. At a certain point, there were to many moveable actors on the screen and it bogged it down, so I switched them all to interpolate and made non moveable which improved the performance greatly.

    I got them to rotate by by using the interpolate with self rotation and setting the time to allow for it to travel to where it's going while it's rotating.

    If you happen to need it to go the opposite direction use -360 and you can adjust the speed with the duration setting.

    Yep just through a rotate behavior on it.

    He is using NON-movable actors. Therefore Rotate behaviors do not work. Interpolate is the only awesome way to go. :)

    Good stuff guys!!!! Thanks again,,,

    It's amazing the difference it makes when you don't have a bunch of moveable actors on the screen. The game now only has 1 moveable actor and it is performing pretty darn good on a 2nd generation device where as before it started to choke...

    Interpolate is the way to go for sure!!!
