  Wait. I found my problem.

  Earlier on in the sheet when I spawned the turret item, I think I set its angle to 270 effectively locking it in place. Will check.

  *edit* Yes, this was my problem. Changed the spawning logic to work once, instead of every tick fixed this.

  I'm having a similar problem. I've tried tackling it several ways and seem kind of stuck.

  Ideally, I want a limited-rotating turret to slowly move towards either 20-degrees left or right as long as either left or right arrow are held down.

  My first attempt:

  Turret.Angle = 270

  On Left Arrow is down, Rotate Turret 5 degrees toward 250

  On Right Arrow is down, Rotate Turret 5 degrees toward 290

  In practice, what happens is as long as I hold left, the turret snaps to 265 (270-5) and stays there... so basically it's only updating that condition one tick when Left is pressed, rather than constantly while it's held down.

  ... I tried tackling it this way:

  Turret.Vector = 0

  Turret Angle = 270+Vector

  On Left Arrow down, set Vector = -20

  On Right Arrow down, set Vector = 20

  Every Tick, rotate Turret 10 degrees toward Turret Angle (270+Vector)

  Still no dice, it's rotating 10 degrees either direction only, so it's still updating only once. I just started using Construct 2 this week, so maybe there's something I'm missing about how to get this to update every tick?
