Rotate actor around z axis?

Lokitoes

Is is possible to make an actor spin around the z axis? Or fudge it to make it look like this is what it is doing? For example, as angular rotation makes an actor spin clockwise or anticlockwise, is it possible to have a similar form of rotation on a horizontal-style z axis?

Cheers,
A

@Lokitoes Gamesalad can't do 3D. However you can use this code to make it look like it rotates on the Z axis:

50*sin( game.Time *400)+50
this is for an actor with the size of a 100 pixels wide, the 400 represents the speed.

if your actor is 50 pixels wide it would look like this 25*sin( game.Time *400)+25 , so the 25's are the total width/2

Cool! That was the kind of cheat I was looking for, thanks

@Approw -- nice solution!

Interesting concept - so what is the behavior used, rotate, or other?

@mhedges You just Constrain Attribute self.Size.Width to the expression posted above.

@tatiang, thanks much. I will test it on some actor like a coin or a plane to see what it looks like.
