I'm trying to get the red chainsaw to rotate around the green circle with the chainsaw pointing out at all times....nearly there but been trying for 2-3 hours with no luck.

Thanks in advance,

Darren.

EDIT: Ah I just downloaded it and took a look thats can't work as you already have a rotate rule on it sorry I am out of ideas for now.

A simple method would just be to have the chainsaw actor rotate and just keep adjusting the speed so that it rotates at the right amount around the green circle. I would try that putting a very slow rotation speed on it to begin with and then adjust it.

Yes i tried this but the thing is it worked perfect with a rotate speed of 300 in preview but when i tried it on my ipod touch it rotated at the wrong angle

Thanks for looking.

Ok just took a closer look. You had it in the prototype fine. Only it wasn't in the actual actor in the scene. Just have the saw rotate at a speed of 300. Works a charm hope thats what you want.

Ahh I see what you mean I just previewed it on my device same thing. Hmm it is odd that any adjustments that are made doesn't seem to affect the angle that its at when previewing on a device.

Probably an easy answer...i will keep trying.

Thanks,

Darren.

I suspect, seems like it would be simple. Sorry I was no help.
