Angle with dangling effect

[Bree]

Hey guys!!

I was hoping someone could help me with something.. I know it's gotta be simple but everything I'm trying isn't working so far.

I have 2 objects, one is fixed and the other is "dangling" off of it. I wanted to do a sort of angle rotation thing but not all the way around the object, just partially back and forth on the bottom so it's like it's dangling.. if that makes sense

I started out with:

Always set angle to Angle("object")+1 and that works great where it rotates around the object, except I wanted it to stop and reverse so it doesn't circle around completely. I tried doing something like Angle("object)>=90 / Always ... Angle("object")-1 thinking it would reverse once it hit 90 degrees but it doesn't it just stops.

Any idea how I could get that type of effect using Angles?

Thanks all!

Use a flag. When the objects angle hits either 0 degrees or 180, toggle flag 0 in your rotating object. If flag 0 is on then add +1 to the angle of the object. If flag 0 is off then -1 to the angle of the object. You could also look into trigonometry for rotating an object around another object (like the planets orbiting the sun), however restrict the angles so it only sways from left to right.

Thanks Sumo! That's exactly what I should have been doing in the first place instead of messing with a bunch of Always I appreciate the help and got it to work!
