Drag to rotate an object.

[OldManClayton]

That's the problem that I had. >_>

Oh, I see.

Use this as expression instead.

Alterable Value A( "Active" )+ATan2(XMouse-X( "Active" ), YMouse-Y( "Active" ))-90

Thanks for your quick reply.
I followed your instructions to the letter, but the problem persists. :confused:

Thanks Looki for posting the file. But I still have the problem. Is anyone here who might have had the same problem? Or is it just me?

I can confirm the problem, if you keep clicking, it will keep moving around even though you don't move the mouse.

Thanks guys for trying out this problem for me. i noticed something this time around. when I click on the object, it jumps around as we all know. But if i click on the exact same spot again, the object doesn't move. I don;t know what to make of this.

I noticed this also, my guess is that it's to do with the way the set angle events were set up because it seems to snap to the mouse angle rather than the objects previous plus the new angle.

To fix it so it doesn't automatically move when clicking off the active you would set up a is over event also and set a value then on release clear that. That way it only would rotate after clicking and dragging around rather than clicking and it jumps to the angle.

To make it more stable it would need a limiting for when you click outside of the object area holding the mouse and dragging it back over again. If your not sure what i mean by this i made basically this for the hold button in these widgets i made a while back.

Thanks Atom for pointing me to your widget. Unfortunately, I still can't make it work.
I feel really stupid and this is diving me crazy. :blush:
