How do I Rotate Sprite?

Now i have a sprite and it gets rotated 90 degrees every time a specific button is pressed. Now it works fine and the coding is simply

on touched object > rotate sprite 90 degrees clockwise

What i dont like is that it rotates without any kind of animation (can't think of the word i'm trying to use).

Basically when it rotates I want to be able to see the "frames" so to speak between each rotation to make it look more realistic.

Hope i'm making sense

You can use rotate towards angle.

For example:

touch is touching object - rotate sprite 5 degrees towards sprite.angle+90

if you'd rather have the rotation performed on 1 touch

add a boolean instance variable rotating

and an instance variable OriginalAngle

on touched object > sprite set boolean rotating to true

sprite is rotating

-system compare two values - sprite.angle < sprite.OriginalAngle+90

sprite rotate towards - sprite.OriginalAngle+90

-system else

sprite set rotating to false

sprite set value OriginalAngle = sprite.angle

for...... on touched object > sprite set boolean rotating to true.......It says i must add an instant variable first? i have made the instant variable that you said?

and then for......-system compare two values - sprite.angle < sprite.OriginalAngle+90.......It says OriginalAngle is not an expression

LittleStain any ideas? by the way thanks so much. You've been so hopeful with my problems

just a thought...

Yeah that works perfectly. How do i increase the rotation speed though? korbaach

Well there is the action set rotate speed..?

Yeah that works perfectly....

Its far from perfect....if you drastically increase the speed..most likely sprite would miss checkpoint..

and continue to rotate...

...maybe you should check Rex's plugins for Construct2... http://c2rexplugins.weebly.com/rex_rotateto.html

it's a custom behavior with with more options than official Rotate behavior...

I think that would be the best option for you....

Thank You!

LittleStain Yeah i created that variable but still doesnt work :/ i think there is maybe a stage before that?

The file seemed to be corrupt when i downloading the plugin.

Here: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fi ... 4994636600

extract and put folder in behaviors...

(Construct2>exporters>html5>behaviors)

korbaach ahhhh I had it placed in the plugin folder. yeah it works much better this way with the ability to alter the VarSpeed. However if you click on the 'OK' button before the sprite has made the full 90 degree rotation, then the sprite becomes off balanced and doesnt stay within the 90 degree (vertical, horizontal) position....it ends up diagonal?

— just add one instance variable to avoid this..

On Button clicked(Sprite is Not rotating)...Set Rotating to True...
