<![CDATA[Anchor point]]>Since you can’t set the anchor point of an object yet, I’m trying to create my own anchor point. So far I can rotate an object around a point with sine and cosine, but that is from the center of the object. I need it to rotate from a point on the object For example, rotate around the the top right corner.
I can’t seem to figure it out....any help would be great!

There is a reason though. It’s probably one of those formulas like hypotenuse = sin(θ) × opposite.

I was confusing with something else in my project 🤦‍♂️ I’ve only got a few hours of sleep every night for a week due to my 3d printer addiction! so my brain doesn’t work....

If you have a right angle triangle, a is the length of one side, b is the length of the other and c is the length of the hypotenuse (the longest one, diagonal if a is x and b is y), then c² = a² + b². What I was trying to work out is the diagonal distance between two points. I can easily get the x and y distance between them, but I wanted diagonal.

So you are just multiplying the x and y by them selves for the x and y distance to the other point?
I think I always just added the actual x and y distances.

Create a dummy object that you'll use as a virtual anchor point. Use the physics weld joint to bind your rotating object to the dummy object at the position you want relative to the virtual anchor point. Then rotate the dummy object. This should give you the result you want, but will ruin anything else regarding physics.

But I agree. The anchor point should be respected by the rotate behaviour.

This is how you work out the diagonal distance between two points if you know their coordinates.

The result from the square root is the distance from the centre to the anchor point.

What do you need the “initial angle” for?
And I’m not sure as to the purpose of the behaviors in the screen shot.0_1509768978624_1A339C64-88B6-41E1-8C8C-A6109AC1CEDC.png

For example, anchor is 1 metre up and 1 metre to the right (so both positive), so when the object is at 0° rotation, the angle from the anchor to the object is 225° (so that’s down-left). Hope this makes sense.

@Aidan-Oxley lol ok.

It’s gonna end up with like 10x more behaviours than Jack’s version 😝. I’ll do it tomorrow.

It moves to the anchor you want to rotate about, rotates, then reverses the movement of the anchor.

Because I don’t LOL

maybe we should start a new thread and get everyone’s opinion on sine and cosine!🤣🤣🤣
