This Node has different versions for and . Find in the tabs below the documentation for both versions.
Overview
The RotateFromTo Action Node continuously rotates a from the Euler angles specified in From to those specified in To for a given period of time, thus creating an Animation.
Furthermore, visit the page for a general introduction to these Nodes, and for more detail about the Rotation Attribute.
Attributes
From
Vector3
The Euler angles along the X, Y, and Z axes to rotate from, if none are received in the From Input Socket.
To
Vector3
The Euler angles along the X, Y, and Z axes to rotate to, if none are received in the To Input Socket.
Duration (sec)
Float
The total time of the Action, if none is received in the Duration Input Socket.
Interpolation
Drop-down
Inputs

Pulse
Flows to the next Node following RotateFromTo Action when the Action stops.
This section shows a simple example of how to use the RotateFromTo Action Node and the effect it has on a Scene Object. This concept can be applied as well to a Scene2D Object.
For this purpose, we set the Attributes of the RotateFromTo Action Node in the following way:
To:
Duration (sec):
Interpolation: Linear
We just leave the From Attribute as it is, since this value will be obtained through the corresponding Input Socket.
Finally, the effect of the RotateFromTo Action Node when triggered is the following:
: Scene, Function, Prefab.
The Interpolation method to use for calculating the intermediate values of the Euler Angles. It can be , , , or .
The assigned of the Action. If nothing is received, it automatically assigns 0 as the Instance ID.
The assigned of the Action.

We start by , then , and finally show the .
We consider a with two : a red and a , both of which can be easily created in the . Then, we set the Scale Attribute of the Torus to , its Rotation to , and the Position of the Light to . See this configuration in the following image:
We then need to configure the Logic. This is done in the .
We use first a , which allows us to obtain an Object's current Rotation values, and then the RotateFromTo Action Node, to which we will feed the value previously obtained and configure it for it to rotate the Object from there to a fixed value of our choosing.
Then, we connect the Object ID from the red Torus to the Object ID Input Socket of both Nodes, the Rotation Output from the Get Rotation Node to the From Input Socket in the RotateFromTo Node, and a Pulse through the Get Rotation Node and to the Start Input in RotateFromTo. Thus, having the following Logic configuration:
