Help with Rotating an Actor

maxpowers156

Hi Guys! I am new to Gamesalad so this is prolly a newbie question, but I am having an issue with trying to get a virtual on screen button to rotate another actor. I set up a real attribute for the game that is tied to the Block rotation that I want to rotate. I figure I need to use a "Change Attribute" on the on-screen virtual button actor, but unsure of how exactly to set this up. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

To communicate between actors, you can use a game attribute.

Here's one way to do this:

Button actor
When touch is pressed
.....Change Attribute game.pressing (boolean) to true
.....Otherwise
..........Change Attribute game.pressing to false

Block actor
When attribute game.pressing = true
.....Rotate direction: [clockwise or counter-clockwise] speed: [some number]
