rotate actor back

razzsoft

Hi All,

I'm trying to rotate an actor 90 deg and then after a specified time rotate back to original position.

I can't seem to work out how.

Any ideas ?

Cheers,

Set up a rotate to angle attribute within a timer.

Rotate 90 degrees
AFTER XX seconds ROTATE TO XX

That should sort it :-)

AfterBurnett

Oh and make sure it's set to relative to scene, not actor. I just found that out while trying it

Hi POLYGAMe,

Thanks for your reply.

That is what I did but it doesnt seem to work for me.

I've got a timer that every 2 seconds has a rotate to angle of self.rotation +90, but it only rotates 90 degrees the first time

AfterBurnett

I just tried that too and it didn't work. My way worked though... don't alter the actor's self.rotation... just set a rotate to angle attribute. Works fine

AfterBurnett

Oh, I know why... it's setting the self.rotation instantly, so you don't see it. You need to use interpolate or a rotation attribute so you can set the speed of the rotation itself.

AfterBurnett

Use a timer with interpolate. I just checked and it works fine. That way you can specify over what period of time to adjust the self.rotation

razzsoft

thanks again, I'll try that .

Would you mind posted the code you used for this.

Hi cabcom: the good thing about POLYGAMe's suggestion to use Rotate to Angle is that you can put the Behaviours in a second Timer to make it run continuously, if you wanted.

I'll post that here as well, if you like. :-)

razzsoft

Yes Please and thank you for all the help.

I dunno how to post images... I'm a noob myself

AfterBurnett

Create a timer. Set it to "every" 2 seconds.

Within the timer, place an interpolate behaviour. In that, you can specify it to interpolate rotation... just select it as you did in your original version. You can also specify how fas/slow it does it.

Hope this helps!

The following works, except it waits for 4 seconds before running, but i'm sure a bit of tinkering with the Rules would sort that. Here it is:

Thanks again, I think I've got it now.

Ah flips, done it again, pressed quote instead of Edit (was adding about posting images at the end). Done that more than once before; no way to delete it now, ah well.

PS I post images this way: I use Grab to get tiff image of Rules; save to jpeg in PS; upload to Photobucket, copy the HTML code; paste that into the post. Seems to work out OK...
