Title: How do I set just y axis from vecter 3?
Post by: wheretheidivides on December 09, 2014, 12:58:42 PM

OK so I have 2 items rotating in opposite directions on Y axis.  The user can select different items to replace them.  There is text above the items but when I get back to item 1, I want the item to sync up with the text.

So, I have the variable stored as a vector 3.  I just want the Y angle.  I tried a set rotation, but it does all 3 (x,y,z).  SO how do I just get the Y and use it to set the Y? 

and also, it needs to be the opposite (positive 120 degrees becomes negavive 120 and neg 100 would become pos 100).

Using Set Rotation you can leave all the fields as "None" and set the Y to your value. If they're None then the action doesn't change them.
