Hi All,
I am using the display text attribute to display the value of vectortoangle(Accelerometer X, Accelerometer X ) on one of my actors.
My problem is that I would like the text to display starting from 0°, not at 360°.
Can anyone let me know how this is done. I have tried just about everything and I am not getting the desired results.
Thank you in advance

    Without looking at your code I can't say for sure . . . . but can't you just stick an offset at the end of your expression . . . ?

    So if . . .

    Display X+(cos)BlahBlahBlah,((self.time)/cheese)*400+XXX

    . . . gives you 90, but you want it to give you 20 . . then simply add this offset on the end . .

    Display (X+(cos)BlahBlahBlah,((self.time)/cheese)*400+XXX)-70


    In your case can you not simply stick -180 on the end of your expression to change 180 into 0 ? Hope that makes sense !

    Always use cheese in all of your expressions and you can't go wrong!

    So it should read in mu display text box:

    (X+(cos)BlahBlahBlah,((self.time)/cheese)*400+XXX)-70


    What goes in place of "BlahBlahBlah"

    Thanks

    I like to use a mature Cheddar, helps with interpolation.

    @Tynan I would use a softer cheese like mozzarella instead of cheddar it tastes better and it helps with acceleration

    Here is link. The first rule is the one I have been experimenting with, it is turned off.
    The second code is suggestions from this board

    My suggestion was an example - I was not typing out actual code - I was just using any old example as an illustration.

    If you want something that currently displays 180 to instead show 0 then you could try sticking -180 on the end of your expression as an offset.

    Hi Tynan,

    "If you want something that currently displays 180 to instead show 0 then you could try sticking -180 on the end of your expression as an offset"

    Tried this many test's ago. Does not work.
