I have my player’s camera set on a Position2D node offset 50 pixels away from the player. I tried using the following code to rotate Position2D with my player:
extends Position2D
onready var parent = $'..'
func _ready():
update_pivot_angle()
func _physics_process(_delta):
update_pivot_angle()
func update_pivot_angle():
var rotary = parent.inputVector.angle()
rotate(rotary)
print(rotary)
I use inputVector because it returns a value between 1 and 0 in Vector2 (with 1,0 being right, -1,0 being left, etc.)
The problem is that the value for rotary is 0 when going right, 3.14… when going left, and 1.57… and -1.57 when going up and down. And, it doesn’t change rotation no matter the direction.
Your help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

What do you want the output to be? This is called radians.

I don’t see anything wrong with the code. But I don’t know what values inputVector takes on. And how do you know that it’s not rotating? Does it have like a child sprite or something?

Thank you! You made me realize my mistake. I had attached the camera at (0,0) and offset the Position2D node at (50,0) which was spinning the camera but in place. I fixed it by placing the camera at (50,0) and the Position2D at (0,0). This rotated everything perfectly. Dumb move on my part.
