    Trying to turn/rotate my character upon tapping like in color switch. Is that a Buildbox setting or is that added code? Thanks anyone for input.

    Color Switch does not rotate the character, does it? Color switch rotates enemy objects adding Angular Velocity to them.

    Thanks @jigglybean... I was hoping it wasn't an animation as, like in color switch, there are a lot of characters. Maybe I can figure out how to tweak the code in xcode.

    Another way would be to use transform logic and spread them out with a rotation?

    color switch was redeveloped using different tools.
    original game was in BB then has been updated with something else.

    @playsgames... yes, I knew some things were done out of buildbox. I was just trying to find out if the rotating character was one of them. Thanks.

    what do you mean by rotating character. the character doesn't rotate.
    Do you mean the changing color?

    You can't see the first character rotate because it is a perfect circle. Try the other characters.

    Oh yea i see now.
    Animation.
    And also the whole game is not made in build box anymore.
    You could make the character rotate with png files,

    umm soo, I actually was able to re create this rotating effect without animation by editing the character shape, but I couldn't do it with consistency. This is another reason why I don't believe it's animation in color switch...It was actually on accident and I can't re-create it on every character. It feels like the character is on a physics basis or something, but it might be my character advanced settings at the same time. ... and the object holding the character at the start might have something to do with it as well.
