Spank has kindly given us permission to edit his map SpankJox, but i'm having problems trying to get this actor to behave in the way we want.

The first problem is that it only seems to work when the player is facing in a certain direction. Is it even possible for this to work? Secondly, when i make changes to the RotationRate pitch, roll and yaw, some random numbers do work while others don't seem to and i can't work out why.

Any help would be appreciated

What exactly numbers did you try? I've just used different sets (pitch/roll/yaw) of RotationRate. All was looking good and predictable.

If i try and half(ish) the numbers to pitch -139 roll 57 yaw 25, there's no movement. If i increase the numbers to pitch -553 roll 233 yaw 105 it does have an affect but only if i'm looking in a north west direction

In my case both sets of numbers are going well - a skybox is rotating, nevertheless in which direction I'm looking. With -139/57/25 it is rotating very slow and with -553/233/105 faster.

Would you be kind enough to send me an edit?

[unkorix]

Yeah, no problem. Check your PM for the link.

Thank you, but it's still doing it.

Could someone else try please. Just so i know it isn't a problem at my end.

The problem with rotation rates is that they use only integer calculations. That may or may not work out as intended, depending on how small the length of a frame is on average. Generally, the higher your framerate the less reliably small rotation rates will work. For example, if your average frame rate is 140fps, any rotation rate values below 140 will straight up do nothing and all values between 140 and 280 will likely have the same results.
(For reference: A rotation rate of about 1000 is about one rotation per minute.)

Ahh i see. So it's relative to each user. That would explain why we're all seeing different things.

Thank you
