Approach to spin a sphere in drag direction?

the move puzzle applies to translated, rotated, scaled objects.
yours would be applying to the fact that it is rotating

this is more for a scrollable “carousel” for a spinning globe…
i think you probably would be better off using a physics puzzle for a rotating object.. looks like the “physics params” puzzle
has an option called “angular dampening” which will slow down a rotating object.

you have to create a new project with physics through the app manager i’m pretty sure.. possibly you can add the code for it in.

hi!

Great progress indeed. So you need to determine the sign of the dragging delta along vertical screen axis, right? Then can you possibly create a variable and remember the coordinate of the mouse cursor at the moment the user starts dragging. Then you could compare it with that at the moment the dragging is finished.

You can retrieve the mouse coordinates using these puzzles:

and

(select ‘pageY’)
