RE: [Virtools] rotation angle.......Help.

Hello,

A threshold BB should work to constrain your angle values. Just put it in
the pipeline before the value is sent to the joint.

Hope that helps,

Rob

Subject: [Virtools] rotation angle.......Help.


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,
