Rotate Brainbox

This movement Brainbox makes an asset rotate in a specified direction.

Brainbox Attributes

After you add this Brainbox to an asset, you need to specify the Speed and direction in which the asset should rotate.

  • Speed
    • Enter a numeric value in any of the axis fields to represent the rotation direction and speed. The greater the number, the faster the asset will rotate.
  • Direction
    • To make the asset rotate clockwise along an axis, enter a positive value in the desired Speed axis field.
    • To make the asset rotate counter clockwise along an axis, enter a negative value in the desired Speed axis field.
    • Also depends on which direction the game camera is facing.
  • The asset rotates on its center around the specified axes.
  • If you put values in more than one axis, the asset will rotate in all of the specified axis directions
    • For example, if all of the axis fields contain values, the asset will rotate like that of a mechanical bull.
  • Range
    • To make the asset pick a random axis value, enter a value in any of the range fields to the right.
    • The range value is both added and subtracted to create a minimum and maximum of possible outcomes.
    • For example, if you enter a value of 100 in the Y axis, and a value of 50 in its range field, a value between 50 and 150 will be selected during gameplay.
      |50———-100———-150|
    If you don’t want the asset to rotate in a specific direction, delete the value in any of the axis fields.

The table below shows two sample values with their speed and direction.

Positive Value Negative Value
Sample Value 100 -500
Speed Slow Fast
Direction Clockwise Counter Clockwise

Brainbox Node Group

After you add this Brainbox to an asset, the Rotate node is added to the Node Map of the asset with the Speed values you’ve specified.
