Title: Rotate Button
Post by: Rocco on May 31, 2006, 05:48:09 PM

i tried many different approaches, but dont get this damn button to rotate.
i have the button script which look like this with my nonfunctional rotationcode  :(.

Code: [Select]

var rotation = 5;
self.Rotatable = true;
self.Rotate = rotation;

on "LeftClick"
{


    rotation = rotation + 10;
    self.Rotate = rotation;
    .
    .
    other code which works :-)
    .
    .
    Sleep(10);
}

GUI elements cannot be rotated. You'd have to use an entity instead of button.

Yes, well, these are the joys of object oriented programming. All the game objects inherit the Rotate attribute, but only some of them actually do implement it.
