Hi All.

I set up my accelerometer on my game. I want to be able to show the angle (coordinates) I am tilting at. Can anyone let me know how I st this up?

Thanks in advance.

    In an actor, drag in the display text behavior and click the e on the right. then navigate to devices - accelerometer- (x, y, or z. Whichever one you want to display.) Then add it to the scene and voila!

    display text. vectorToAngle( game.Accelerometer.X , game.Accelerometer.Y )+180

    hope that helps. kipper

    edit redsky beat me to it... just couldn't remember quite the bit about the adding of 180 so checked it. otherwise you go negative

    @Redsky, I did that before I even posted this question. Try it, does not work.

    @ old_kipper - This did not work either.

    Old_Kipper,

    Yours does work. Thanks.
    It just stays at 180°. Do I have to load app to my device to see if it works?

    Thanks.

    You do have to load it onto device for it to give you a readout other than 0 (or as I have added 180 to the expression- 180). It works in the on device viewer or if you do an adhoc build. cheers kipper
