Rotate an Actor - Intermittent

Development Programming & Scripting

Hi All

Super new here.

I’ve created a BP that rotates an actor (in this case a square platform) 90 degrees. The goal is to do this …

Rotate 90deg … pause … rotate 90deg … pause etc.

Using previously discussed BPs I created the following.

It does this:

Rotate 90deg … pause … reset to start … rotate 90 deg … pause … reset … etc

Here is the BP.

Any advice welcome.

rotate for 1s, wait 0.5s, as in:

Any advice welcome.

If you opt for this method, it will offer you much more flexibility, consistency and granular control - especially in the long run. The general idea is:

  • prepare data before the TL executes in order to avoid sampling stale values
  • have the timeline output alpha value in the 0-1 range Lerp (linear interpolation) can take advantage of

The above is what I believe one of the most classic implementations.

Good luck!

Can this BP be applied to a landscape (the landscape being an actor?)
