Rotating

This is probably a stupid question, cause' I'm likely to have overlooked something.
But is there an easy way to make things rotate counterclockwise?

Make speed negative.

For some reason the parts won't rotate when I make the speed negative.
I've done exactly like you wrote in the tutorial, but it still dont work.

Can you post the AI lines from the editor? It'll give me a better idea of what's going on.

Here you go.

rotatePart,48,-1,0,60,20

You don't suppose that the space between is important?

Okay, for me that code generates a part that starts out rotating counter clockwise and will then rock back and forth between the minimum and maximum angles. Is what what you're after, or do you want the piece to keep spinning counter clockwise forever?

If you want it to keep spinning counter clockwise forever you need to change that 60 to a 0 so that the line reads:
rotatePart,48,-1,0,0,20

Otherwise I'm going to need you to explain to me what you're wanting the piece to do.

Hmm, it is supposed to rotate between min and max angle.
I think my problem is to get the right rotation between those.
I'll just try and fail till' I get it.
Thanks for the help though.
