    I made an Boolean attribute and called it Rotate Camera then i made 2 actors in the first one i made a rule when touch is pressed constrain attribute rotate camera to true then put the 2nd actor on to the scene and create a rule when attribute game.rotate camera is true constrain attribute scene.camera.rotation to scene.camera.rotation+1

    For the actors that you want to fall give it an accelerate behaviour and make the direction of acceleration scene.camera.rotation -90

    Pretty sure that's right, might need to check it when I am able to get to my computer later.

    This is what i did from the beginning but when i rotate the camera to the right it goes to the left and when i rotate the camera to the left it goes to the right

    Too ambiguous for me.

    What I'm trying to say is that it's not working for me any other idea on how to make it work

    The method I posted above should work fine.

    or in other words if the camera is rotating clockwise i want the actor to fall to the right

    to the left
    All you have to do is to adjust the direction of the falling actor's accelerate behaviour.

    I think that should read 'left' ?

    Your saying you want it left and then right. So confusing :((

    Just change the direction to opposite, so if it's 500 change it to -500.

    That's my bet because it's just doing the opposite.

    Good grief this is getting confusing, you say "if the camera is rotating clockwise i want the actor to fall to the right" - but in the video the camera rotates counterclockwise and you have a red arrow pointing to the right saying you want the actor to fall this way ?

    You can get the actor to move in whichever direction you want in relation to the camera by adjusting the direction in the accelerate behaviour.

    That might be the most mysterious post yet ! :((

    It really takes a tiny amount of extra effort to state your terms, personally I try to avoid words like 'it' when there is more than one element involved.

    "When I rotate the camera the actor rotates in the opposite detection" . . . . is useful.

    "When I rotate it it 'goes' the wrong way" . . . . is less useful.

    Great so now you understand what i need right ?

    If you want to upload your project (or just the part you are trying to sort out) I'm sure someone can sort it out for you fairly quickly.

    No, my post was highlighting that I found it hard to understand.
