A beginners question on rotation

by Tania Thompson · in Torque Game Engine · 06/01/2008 (6:28 pm) · 3 replies

Hi all

I'm using the tutorial base graphical interface to make up my project and I've run into a snag.

How on earth do I rotate an object in this graphical user interface. There is a rotate field in the world inspector option but it won't respond to any alterations made here.

please help.

Hold the alt key, click on one of the three axes holding the mouse down, then wiggle it side to side and the object will rotate about the held axis.

Thanks so much for that. Sometimes the most frustrating problem is solved by merely a key press ... as I have learned many a time in my adventures with game engines and digital imaging software.

you think people would learn to put out a hot key list. :)

cheers for that

They need a hot key list. :-D
If you hold ctrl and alt while left click/drag, you will size your object.
