help with position of actor

UtopianGames

Hi Guys,

A little pissed because i would expect to know how to do this by now but been going round in circles for a few hours and thought i'd see if any pros here have a solution.

I have everything setup except the lightsabers position (i want it so its handle is on the outside of the circle)

I have tried cos and sin and god knows a lot more :P but can't for the life of me fix it.

Thanks for looking.

Darren.

I'm on a PC at my day job otherwise I'd take a look. And not really being able to see what is going on, assuming a lightsabre being 'held' by a circle? Kind of like the chainsaw demo? Did you change the sin/cos distance parameter?

`
r = Radius of the circle
t = Time (which increments)
c = Some constant that makes the change in time look more dramatic. In this case, the higher the number, the faster the object moves on the circle path.
X0 = X position of the center of the circle
Y0 = Y position of the center of the circle

X = r*cos(t*c)+X0

Y = r*sin(t*c)+Y0
`

Hi rebump,

Yeah i tried code exactly the same as the chainsaw but this one is using codemonkeys twin joystick demo.

I have it rotating correctly but can't work out the offset position required.

I can w8 till you have time bud as i'm sure your the man for the job.

Regards,

Darren.
