3. How do get an object's movement direction?

Imagine a ship in space, it can move in any direction, regardless of where it may happen to be pointing. I'm working with that kind of thing. So yes I've got my X, Y and Z axis speeds, which togeth...

Is there? I've been having a look at them and the closest I can find it the Movement Sensor. It's gives you where you're pointing and it tells you how fast you're moving, but not what overall direc...

3. How do I get a Look At Rotator to only have control over my LOCAL Y axis rotations (or mimick that behaviour some other way?)

I mean that the axes the Look At Rotator rotates around are the world axes, not the object's local axes.You know that the other movers and rotators have the 'Local' option which you can turn on and...

3. Two grouped objects will no longer move together. Did something change with the update?

This makes no difference. Have you tried getting two objects and doing this recently? For me it no longer works (since the update), I've been trying every day.

3. What do you think is the best way to create a puff of smoke painting that will linger in the air for a while and then gently fade away?

I'm making a guided missile. It will emit little smoke paintings out the back very quickly to create a trail, then i want the trail to gently fade away (and expand a little as ultimatriple7 suggest...

3. How do I get an object's orientation with respect to the world axes?

The tag is telling me how the object is rotating around it's own axes. Those axes are local to the object and move with it, as you say. I want to know how the object is rotating around the world ax...

3. Can you help me solve this odd issue with having two timelines affecting the same object?

Thanks Andy. I was very careful to only press L2 when capturing, although to be honest, from the experimentation I've done, I really can't see that it makes any difference.You were right about the ...

3. Is it just me or is the orientation data (from a tag) kinda broken when you break it down manally?

Ok, thanks all. Time to go and remind myself of the vector math I did 25 years ago in school!
