Transform object node

I want to rotate an object using logic nodes instead of the animation timeline, however, I can't find the "Transform Object" logic node as described in the Blend4Web manual (https://www.blend4web.com/doc/en/logic_editor.html#transform-object)

Where is the Transform Object node?

Hi and welcome!

This node is available in the newest 16.01 release.

Thanks for the quick reply! I've updated the SDK successfully.

Another question:

I want the object to rotate endlessly. Is there a way to do that with the logic node editor?

Currently I'm trying to increment a variable and feed that back into the "rotate" coordinates. Being a total newbie, I have no idea if this is correct!

You can add a Delay node with a small value to update the rotation incrementally.

That's helpful to control the speed of variable update … but how do I get the code to loop? Right now, this only plays once.

Nevermind! I used a "print to console" node and saw that the function is in fact looping, I just don't have the variable set up correctly to increase incrementally, so the rotation only happens once. I'll keep tinkering with it I guess!

Glad it worked for you!

Hy i had a look at it this afternoon and i came to the conclusion that in world space you go somewhere in the world space. So unless you move again to another place going to the same space again won't involve any movement. But in local space the object is always a it's own origin so x=1 is always 1 unit further. So to move every time you shoud use the local space. Not sure about parent though i didn't look yet.
hope this helps.

You are absolutely right!

In Parent Space parent's location, rotation, scale are set as origin.
So for example if parent is static the only difference between World Space and Parent Space is initial offset.

Ok!
So in most cases one might want to use emptys and parenting. That way by rotating parent you can apply a arch rotation to a object.
This sound lot's of fun !
