[SOLVED] Help With a Clock

ValueRemainder=43200

[MeterMinutesHand]
Meter=ROTATOR

W=200
H=200
OffsetX=(#ImageW# / 2)
OffsetY=(#ImageH# / 2)
StartAngle=4.7124
RotationAngle=6.2832
ValueRemainder=3600

I got some of the code from the manual, but the manual doesn't talk about StartAngle, RotationAngle and ValueRemainder, which is why I think my clock isn't working properly. What's wrong with the code?

You have to take care that your images of the hour and minute handles are actually 200x200 pixels in size. The Rotator meter doesn't perform any scaling of the images.

[ScoobSTi]

All 3 images (dial and both hands) are 200x200, but the hands are still completely wrong.

Could you please create an RMSKIN package and post it.

[ScoobSTi]

Here it is.

Do the "StartAngle" and "RotationAngle" amounts stay the same for every single clock out there? I thought maybe that was interfering with the clock.

[smurfier]

Except for the fact that your minute hand is longer than 100 px, half the skin, everything is working fine over here.

[ScoobSTi]

That's the sort of look I was trying to achieve, but when I put my clock next to the example clock (from the rotator guide), both hands are about -90 degrees off. Should I rotate the hand images in Photoshop?

Edit: Rotated them 90 degrees and now it works. I feel silly now. Such a simple solution.

It usually always is.

Just takes a fresh pair of eyes to see it sometimes.
