how to spawn at ends of actor?

Cowuniverse

There is a black rectangle that is rotating and I want to make it so when I touch the screen it spawns an actor on both of the short ends facing the same direction. I tried putting the self.rotation in the direction for spawning the actor but it doesn't spawn in the same direction.

Two ways - the easy and the sublime.

Easy - constraining x, y, and rotation, destroy the existing actor and spawn one with the original dimensions plus two squares on each small rectangle end.

Sublime - constraining x, y and rotation, spawn two actors orbiting the original one. For this you will need sin and cos - search for threads on "orbit".

I had the spawn actor set to relative to actor instead of scene. It works now.
