Slow Rotation

CaptFinn

Imagine a Asteroid. Falling from top of screen down to bottom of screen. IM using a random off screen spawn and a (Move: Direction and Speed. As soon as the actor spawns and start moving. I want it to slowing spin and it goes downward.

I gave the actor a rotate but the actor travels down but doesnt spin in place. it almost looks like a car rounding the bend as it falls.

It sounds like this what you are looking for:
"angular velocity: the speed at which the actor rotates. Values greater than 0 cause the actor to rotate counter-clockwise. Negative values cause clockwise rotation"

Attribute of the motion subgroup.

I bet that your move behavior was set to move downward relative to the actor. If the actor is rotating then downward for it could become sideways from our perspective. Change the setting within the behavior to 'relative to scene.'

@Jeffnichols

on asteroidActor:
-delete the moveBehavior
-change its: Motion: Linear Velocity.Y To: -100 (or whatever -number for speedDown)
-in rotationBehavior: set the speed to 45 (or whatever is slow enough for you)

That is making my actor come from the bottom and go upwards. But it is rotating the way i want it to in a str8 line. Just its coming from bottom instead of top.

Actors: Motion: Linear Vel Y 100

And Rotate Behavior is 20 Clockwise.

@Jeffnichols …

100 to go up … -100 to go down …you need to type in the minus sign!
