Gun Rotation [SOLVED]
« on: March 28, 2013, 09:30:25 AM »
I have a gun on a tank i want to move up and down, the attached screen shot shows what i have done and works, but it will rotate a full 360deg, how can I clamp this to only work between two values?  say 0 to 90 deg, I tried a few different ways, but as i am quite new to the working of playmaker, struggle to find the correct action

You should be rotating X axis for up/down, so i assume you pre-rotated a cylinder for the tank barrel, thereby fucking up its axis. Don't scale/rotate objects inside unity, do it in your 3D application, else it becomes a mess to work with later on.

Maybe "get rotation" then "math clamp" on that? Might need to use set rotation as well, not sure.

Managed to sort it out, used get position, stored it in a variable, then used get vector3 XYZ and stored the Y in another variable, then did a float compare to stop the rotation, then reset with get key up for up and down.
