Actor orbiting around another actor issue question

carlblanchet

Hey all!

So I followed tshirtbooth's tutorial on how to orbit an actor around another (and yes I have watched it over and over again to make sure I didn't go wrong anywhere), obviously what I'm trying to achieve is this:

Although, what I'm getting is this:

Does anyone know how I could have that actor stay the way it is in the first picture and not have it rotate 90 degrees when the constraint is activated?

Thanks in advance!

Two quick ways:

1) Draw your graphic rotated by 90 degrees
or
2) Add 90 degrees to your calculation of the 'earth's' rotation. Something like:
Constrain Attribute: Self.Rotation To:vectorToAngle(game.sunX-self.Position.X, game.sunY-self.Position.Y)+90

Just invert the width and height values of the Windshield actor

I think you can find something useful there: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/49281/

Look for the project I posted

@MarkOnTheIron That's what I'm getting, but I want the Windshield actor to be rotated 90 degrees.
