Constraining rotation

tekkendp

Hi guys,

Looking for a bit of advice. I'm trying to use the accelometer to rotate an actor left or right. The problem is that I need to restrict how much it needs to rotate. The actor is pointing straight up, I want to rotate or lean left or right by a maximum of 45 degrees.

I can get the rotation part working, but I'm having a problem stopping the rotation to just -45 or +45 degrees.

Any tips?

Cheers.

In the expression entry field you can place some Math things. The entry would look like this:

max(-45,min(45, angle))

where "angle" would actually be your current way of getting the number. Maybe it would be like this:

max(-45,min(45, game.Accelerometer.Z *100))

Thanks Colin. I have managed figure it out. I was making the mistake of making the rotation linked to the actors position, instead of in relation to the scene. It's working great now.

Thanks again.
