just as the title says is there a way to lock how farm something can rotate. i got my controller working an what not but the rotation is stuck at 360 degrees an i dont see a way to lock it to say a 90 degree rotation

gamingislove

Try using the Clamp Transform step to limit the rotation between defined values.

wtyson

seems to just clamp it in the direction you set like if i set it with min at -90 an max at 90 on x rotation itll just clamp it in that direction

gamingislove

Hm, yeah, could be that the clamp node isn't ideal for rotations - you can try checking the individual rotation axis using a Check Value node and set it if they exceed whatever values you need.

wtyson

ill test it out an see what i come up with

gamingislove

Will also try to add a better node for rotation limits :)

wtyson

cool thank you

wtyson

ok so this is what i came up with an still dont seem to work unless i got a setting wrong some place. i have these set to local vector 3 variables





this still dose not stop the 360 rotation on the x axis :/

wtyson

heres also a pic of the tic machine where i set the vars ... just incase i did something wrong here to .hopefully im doing it all right.

You need to check the rotation of the game object, the mouse input isn't the rotation but the mouse movement.

I.e. do the rotation with the mouse input, after that, check the rotation if it's beyond the limits you want and set it to the limits if it exceeds the value.
Also, keep in mind that rotation vectors are looping, i.e. -90 could also be 270, etc.

wtyson

so following your advice i checked the rotation of the camera an still dont get any kind of good results heres pics of new set up

an since im going from x axis set at 0 going a 90 degree angle for looking down an -90 degree's for looking up is correct numbers


check transform step


change rotation step

gamingislove

I don't know if you're doing that in a 2nd Check Transform node, but you'll probably also need to check for -270, due to rotation vectors looping around ...

You could disable the rotation limiting for now and check the rotation of your camera when you rotate it with the mouse - you'll see the values you'll need to check for.

wtyson

yeah did that why i said its 90 an -90 if you look at any mouse look script its set up the same way

gamingislove

Will do some tests.

Edit: Ok, will add new options to clamping for rotation clamping.
Also, try clamping Y and Z axis to 0 to prevent them changing due to X rotation changes (e.g. when looking straight up or down).

wtyson

so as of now if i clamp will it work or am i waiting on the new options?

gamingislove

It will probably not work - at least in my tests I ran into the looping issue, but it may work on your end (using Y/Z clamp 0).
