Programming actor rotation into controls
I have an actor without fixed rotation, so it can fall over. I want to make the controls stop working if the actor rotates to a certain point, in both right or left directions. This will allow the actor to fall over once beyond a reasonable point of recovery.
I know what angles I want as a limit to this rule (120° and 50°), but how do I program that? Would appreciate an example or two of how you might work that logic in!

Have a game level boolean attribute called something like "tipped"
In actor, constrain attribute tipped to = actor.angle < minAngle or > actor.angle
Wrap all controls to work on tipped = false.
If it's more natural for your logic you could inert it and call the attribute "upright" and control only when upright is true.
Thank you. The only thing is I'm not sure what to put in the expression editor. I only see rotation as an option under the actor. I can't find any "angle" selection.
Sorry, I meant rotation.
