I'm having some trouble with the rotate() function so far, so I would love to hear another way to rotate my CharacterBody2D

Question

Which method can I use to rotate my CharacterBody2D (except using the rotate() function)?

Body

I am having some trouble recently with the rotate(rotation_speed) method and I believe it doesn’t work. My Character starts spinning at 1000 kph when I just set my “rotation_speed” variable to 1. Is there any other way to rotate my Character without going crazy

[te1ny]

There is an option to change the rotation variable, but there are some pitfalls there

[Exerion]

rotate() works with radians.

By calling it with a parameter of “1” you rotating your object 57.3 degrees per frame, or 3438 degrees per second.

Holy moly! I tried to set the variable to 0.1 but it didn’t work. It stopped rotating.

Solution

var rotation_direction = int()

func get_input():
	rotation_direction = Input.get_axis("left", "right")
