[Virtools] rotation angle.......Help.

["Daniel, Pure Animation" <daniel@pure.se>]

Hi Folks,

I have a little problem that I would like some help with.

I am building Robot arm that I want to control the induvudial joints. To do this I use the rotation tool and then adding 1 degree per frame, simple. The problem is that then I want to keep track of what angle a joint has relative to his or her:) parent, so I can put in a joint rotation restriction. each  joint should have a rotation limit of eg. 10 -90 degree.
I know I could have a parallel variable that also adds 1 to it self each frame (as in The Clock example, shipped with Creation). But isnīt there a simplier way to do this, I have tried using The angle between to objects but that doesnīt work well in a hierarcy.
I mean there is get Position x, z, y, but no "Get Rotation X,y, z"

Please help me, I would realy appreciate it.

Daniel,
