Creating a rotating circle

Overview

In this tutorial, you will learn how to build basic game mechanisms by using the Rotate component.

Finding a circle

1. Find a circle in Asset Library and place it in the scene.
2. Select the circle and open the Properties window by choosing the more icon.

Adding a Rotate component and configuring it

1. In the Properties window, add a Rotate component to the circle by choosing + Feature>Gameplay>Rotate.

2. Populate the Rotate component.

   Property	Description
   Type	Determines the type of rotation, either a circular or an arc motion.
   Axis	Determines the axis of rotation.
   Direction	Determines the direction of rotation.
   Angle	The angle of the arc motion
   Time	The number of seconds to finish a circle or an arc
   Rotation NO	Specifies the number of rotations.
   Loop type	Determines the loop type, either One-way or Two-way. If you choose One-way, the object rotates in the same direction. If you choose Two-way, the rotation direction changes to the opposite whenever the previous circle/arc movement finishes.

   

Setting a trigger

1. Set a trigger for the rotation. By default, the component is triggered by itself when entering Play Mode.

   

2. Playtest it to see how it works. You can also try another component, such as Rovolve, Move, or React.
