  • Thanks a ton for those samples of how to rotate the card using different methods. I'm going to study each method until I understand how each part works and why. I really appreciate the help, dop2000. 🙌🏽

  • I'm trying to build a simple card game to learn Construct. I've built this in Scratch 2 already but can't figure out how to rotate the card left (counter clockwise). It moves one step then stops. I thought I could use the same setup for rotating it right (clockwise) but it doesn't work.

    I don't quite understand Timers either, from what I read, they seem like Messages in Scratch, except each Timer is independent. When I call a Timer to run the rotate-left animation, it moves one step then stops. I've also tried a Repeat loop (repeat 12 times Set Angle to -8), it steps one time then stops. My guess is I'm fundamentally misunderstanding how Construct runs the stack of events/actions. I'm thinking of it like objects that respond to calls (sort of like how Scratch uses Messages). Also misunderstanding how Timers work (more so, how actions are executed under a Timer call), and I don't think the manual does a good job of explaining how to use these functions.

    Here's a screenshot of my event sheet (modified slightly from the c3p file), and a GIF of the project running to show the behavior.
