Question by GizmoBradwell · Mar 30, 2013 at 03:33 PM · timeclock

clock second smooth movement

Hi, I'm trying to get an animated second hand to move smoothly rather than 'tick' every second, do i add Time.deltaTime somewhere - not sure how to calculate that but i have the tick working so far:

 currentTime = System.DateTime.Now;
 
 var seconds : float = currentTime.Second
 
 rotationSeconds = (seconds/60f)*360;
 
 handSeconds.transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, rotationSeconds);

DateTime.Second is an int - you need to do:

C#

  var rotationSeconds = ((float)(currentTime.Second+ currentTime.Millsecond/1000f)/60f ) * 360;

JS

 var rotationSeconds : float = ((currentTime.Second+ currentTime.Millisecond/1000f)/60f ) * 360;

thanks I can see what you've done but it doesn't work properly. how do i change the source which is an int to a float but do this by calculating 360 rotation over 60 seconds ins$$anonymous$$d of reading a different measure of time as the source?

Ah sorry, $$anonymous$$d was obviously wandering - updated the answer now.

That's it! little corrections: var rotationSeconds : float = ((currentTime.Second+ currentTime.$$anonymous$$illisecond/1000f)/60f ) * 360;
