Rotate in a circle using Tween

Help & Support
1

Using the PlayCanvas purpose-built tween library. Is it possible to rotate in a full 360 degree circle?

The problem I’ve run into and can’t seem to overcome is that, the rotate tween looks for the shortest distance to the specified rotation.

Seems that is a thing you can solve in TweenJS library (CreateJS) by specifying a rotation direction: https://www.createjs.com/docs/tweenjs/classes/RotationPlugin.html

But the PlayCanvas tween library doesn’t seem to give that option?

Or maybe moving in a circle isn’t suited for tweens?

Any advice you can offer would be helpful. Complete novice here.

It doesn’t. With rotations, I normally keep track of the rotations myself and tweem/lerp between the start and target values. Eg. https://playcanvas.com/editor/code/537363?tabs=11843077
