Issue with controller sensor rotating an object
I had an issue where a controller sensor wouldn't rotate an object. I was able to move it laterally using a mover, but the rotator wouldn't seem to activate.The scenario:
An object with an attached controller sensor, mover, and rotator.
If I removed the input of the L stick from both the mover and rotator, and pressed play, the object would move and rotate as expected.
When I hooked up the L stick to the mover and turned off the rotator, I could move the object with the L stick as expected. Turning on the rotator manually would result in the object rotating freely.
When I moved the wire from the mover to the rotator, the L stick would not activate the rotator. The object refused to rotate in this case.
Am I doing something wrong?

Did you know you can wire directly into the tweak menus?
try wiring the control sensor into the speed of the rotator instead.
You may have to put it through a splitter gadget first so you only get the control sensor stick left and right

I followed your repro steps but it worked as expected for me. Could you place down a fresh rotator and make sure you are wiring into the power node at the bottom of the rotator?

I did have splitters, one for each direction and one for each of those positive and negative. The logic was horrifyingly messy so if I wasn't missing a step, I probably just wired something badly. I plan to start from scratch and do it all better.
Incidentally if anyone sees this response, is there a way to get an opposite direction from and advanced mover? Like can one advanced mover theoretically move an object in all so directions?
Thanks guys!
