Constrain rotation problem

I have a character that move around the screen and its rotation is contained to the direction it is moving to, but when it stops moving it changes its rotation back to "0" degrees. how can i fix that?

    I'm guessing that the actor is still constraining, so if the direction is 0, then it's constraining the rotation to 0

    yes, but how can i make it only be contained when moving?

    OK so im assuming you have this:

    constrain rotation to vectorToAngle(self.motion.linear.velocity.x,self.motion.linear.velocity.y)

    So try this

    EDIT(over complicated my first answer):

    Just put the constrain for the rotation in a rule when self motion linear velocity does not equal 0

    Is your Constrain Attribute within the Move rules or just by itself?

    by itself, its a character i move with a joystick
    john. when placed it inside a rule it still didn't work

    Yeah thats because your using the joystick and not rotation constrain i thought you were using the i posted above.

    Give me a minute.

    Are you using the cross platform control template with the joystick from gamesalad?

    OK so im just gonna assume your using the cross platform template.

    First off make a new real attribute called newRotation

    Now at the top youll see the rule when attribute stick1active=true
    -constrain self rotation to angle 1

    Inside that same rule put a constrain behavior in constrain newRotation to angle1

    Now make a rule when attribute stick1active is false
    -change attribute self rotation to newRotation

    ok, i'll try that later, hope it works, thanks john
