Angle

[peedalein]

Hello everybody!

I hope you had a good start in the new year

How do I change the angle of my actor (I would like to rotate the actor)?

In Draw Actor I put ("133" is just a random number).

Code: Select all

angle = 133;

or

Code: Select all

actor.angle = 133;

However, my actor does not change the angle/rotate. Anything else that I need to consider?

Regards,
Peter

in the current version of gE you are unable to rotate an actor though in the next version you will
Angle decides the direction that the actor travels in and for that to work, you need to include the Directional-velocity

Code: Select all

actor.angle=0;
directionalVelocity=7;

Ok, will have to wait for the next version then. Thanks for the answer

Well, to be exact, master0500, it's directional_velocity, so the code would have to be this:

Code: Select all

actor.angle = 133;
actor.directional_velocity = 7;

That's for changing the angle and velocity of actor called 'actor'.
For changing the current actors angle and velocity, one can leave the actor name part, and just write:

Code: Select all

angle = 133;
directional_velocity = 7;

That was just for avoiding confusion.
