Trying to make interactive mathematics pub and want to allow users to rotate objects through degrees chosen by them. How can I capture user input into the parameters of opus script? Or achieve the same result by another method?

e.g. SetRotation(Angle - user choice, direction, time,wait)

Anyone with a working example who feels like forwarding, bring it on!!

Thanks

Hi Peter

I've attached a sample.

It was created as follows:

Set up a text input box in which the viewer can enter a number for the rotation angle, using the store input in a (new) variable. We can, for example, call the variable "angle." An advanced trigger like key press, any key and a store to text (.txt) file action with TEMP directory checked will save the number's value in the variable, angle. Then a button to rotate a vector object called Vector1 can read the text file for variable, angle, and be scripted as

Vector1.SetRotation(angle, true)

The viewer enters a number, clicks the button and the vector rotates to the angle they entered.

Variations on this design can be created given Opus's extraordinary versatility.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Stephen

Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's exactly what I'm looking for and another step on the ladder of me getting my head completely around this scripting lark.
