currently c_rotate rotates to the required position and moves so that it isnt intersecting any solid objects (basically). in most cases it is best this way. however, it would be nice to have a function that would rotate towards a new angle (parameters would determine if u rotate clockwise or anticlockwise or whatever) and stop where it hit something... for example in real life if u swing a cricket bat attempting to go through a wall it will stop where it hits the wall (as long as u hold it sturdy enough), not continue the rotation and adjust position to allow this rotation to be possible.

it would be really helpful for car games or making our own physics (especially if we dont own pro) with pivots n stuff.

This should work if you don't use "glide" in c_rotate.

okay, thank you

I have tried it also, but that does not stop the rotating entity when an object is in the way.
According to the manual:
"Gliding along walls is always activated. Otherwise the entity could easily become stuck on rotation."
So, how can I stop the rotation when it is blocked by an other entity?

You could try rotating in very small steps. If you use Glide, you could check after each c_rotate if the position has changed. If yes, stop the rotation. This is really slow, but it works

hmmm... i didnt try it but obviously doesnt work. my request still stands then!!!

request still standing!!

love julz

How about using a collision event?

...and maybe using c_updatehull or c_setminmax...

I don't seem to have this problem, use collision detection with polygons not the box thingy. I think it's the polgon.on flag...

Currently c_rotate uses a method that can't stop on collisions. However I see that this would make sense. I've put it on my list.
