Hi folks,
Hoping someone can help me with the math to be able to control a paddle with a spinner control.
please see the attched example (It should be self explanatory)
Positon a paddle to a spinner
Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.
A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.
Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

This will make the paddle span the width of the frame (minusing from 640 will make it move right when you spin clockwise and vice versa):

This will constrain the paddle to within 65px from the edges:

So that's those 2 problems solved. However, you'll still have the problem of it abruptly jumping from one side to the other when the angle crosses over from 359 to 0 or vice versa. To solve that, I would go about it a slightly different way:

The key equation here is differenceAB = ((angleA - angleB + 540) mod 360) - 180 (courtesy of MuddyMole's Please login to see this link.). This always finds the shortest difference between two angles (So rotating the slider from 359 degrees to 0 degrees gives a reasonable +1 instead of a whopping -359), which we then apply to the paddle position.
