help! display angle

jimmyraynor

Hi all,
In the cannon template, i'm totally lost on how to display the angle of the cannon.
The cannon is directed by the mouse using the "rotate to position" behavior.

I created a game attribute called "angle" with a value of 0 and an actor called "actor display"
In the actor editor, I added the display text behavior and the text was..."game.Angle"

So as of right now, in my scene, it displays an angle of 0..now how do I make it so that the number changes with respect to the angle of the cannon?

Thanks!

In the cannon actor, constrain the game.Angle attribute that you made to the cannon's rotation...

So:

Constrain Attribute: game.Angle To: self.Rotation

That way that Attribute will always be updated.

Ah, self.Rotation, that's what i was missing! Thanks, i appreciate it!
Works perfectly.
