Hello! I'm new to Gamesalad. Im looking for a way to make the scene rotate with the actor. So say the actor rotates 90 degrees, the scene will as well. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

    Contrain attribute camera.rotation to -self.rotation

    Use the Camera Rotation attribute to rotate the camera. See example below.

    Constrain scene.camera.rotation to game.rotationActor

    Do what?

    I am not sure as I am not on a pc to check it but first you have to edit one actor so not the prototype. I think its scene.camera.rotation

    @macmasher Unlock the actor and add:

    Constrain attribute scene.Camera.Rotation to -self.rotation

    Ok so I have 2 constrain attributes. On one it has: game.rotationActor then self.rotation

    My second is: scene.Camera.Rotation, -self.rotation (I also tried game.rotatoinActor)

    What am I missing?

    If you're doing it my way, you'll just need to place that one constrain attribute rule into your unlocked Player/White Square actor. See my previous comment.

    Place an actor with display text game.rotationActor and in the actor a display text self.rotation to check if its working. If not then you did something wrong.
    Manto placed an image how to do it. Just do that and it will work.

    Hm I must be doing something wrong then. I have 1 constrain the: scene.Camera.Rotation To the -self.Rotation on the unlocked white square. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
