how many times has an active rotated?

[Gibbon]

Hi, i have a active rotating using the:

set angle : Get active angle + var "A"

and var A is controlled from anything between 1 to 50?

I want to know how i can the set a counter to how many full rotations the object has done?

Thanks

Maybe set the counter to var A.

hmmm nooo cuz that would just show the multiplier of which im setting the speed.

Var A is a speed setting?? from 1 - 50. So if it is set at 10, the active will set the angle to "own angle +10" therfore rotate in steps of 10....

Sorry, I thought Var A set the number of rotations.

no probs... Anyone else?

*Angle("Object")>= 359 //that might not work if Var A is set to certain values - try 350?
+Only one action when event loops
-Add 1 to Counter

Sort of tryed that.. but you end up with the problem like you do with collisions.. my first attempt was:

*Angle("object")=1
+Add 1 to counter

Thats ok, when the rotations speep up, and the angle steps are bigger, it misses the angle 1.. for example speed = 10, it will go 355 > 5. As you probably know...

So i then tryed:

*Angle("object")>=350
+Add 1 to counter

but when the speed (or angle step) is at say 1... it will add 10 to the counter, for every step (not rotation)...

[Gibbon]

tryed that, its the same thing? its:

+Only one action when event loops

not whats tricking your mind into thinking its :

+Only one action when object rotates

every loop is every loop of the runtimie app.

It should work. Try putting it on top?

Anyways I have to go. The only other idea I have is to have an alterable value equal to the angle, and then if the alterable value is greater than 350 set it to 350 and add one to counter. and put that event on top. That should work...?
