Forums » Impact Engine » Rotating Entities in Weltmeister?

I'm trying to get a specific entity to start at a certain rotation. I'm using the Box2D plugin. Is there a way to do this?

In Weltmeister I don't think there is a way to rotate. With Box2D I believe you can start the entity out in an angled position I though.

in the entities init function try this

this.body.SetXForm(this.body.GetPosition(), angle you want );	

Found the solution: Click the entity and add a key named angle with a numerical radian value.

The image won't rotate immediately, however. You have to refresh the page to see the rotation. Maybe we can get a fix for this, dominic? :)

Personally I'm not a fan of radians, so you might like to try changing line 112 (or thereabouts) in impact/animation.js to...

  ig.system.context.rotate(this.angle * Math.PI / 180);

That'll allow degrees. :)
