Is waving, to say hello or goodbye?

smurfted

I'm guessing the sin function could be used to get an actor waving back & forth. But what if i wanted the motion limited to say 40 degrees of motion, back & forth.

What kind of dark magic (code) would i need to achieve this?

Can you be any more specific ? 'Waving back & forth' is a little vague, do you mean moving back and forth horizontally (along the X axis) ? Or moving in a circle, or perhaps rotating back and forth by 40° ?

Sorry, rotating back and forth by 40 degrees was what i meant..

Constrain rotation to: 40 *sin(self.time *100)

Also you could use the good old rotate behavior:

speed = 50*sin( self.Time *140)

There is some crazy simple scary complicated maths going on there. Thank you very much..
