# RotateTo Action This **Node** has different versions for [**Scenes**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene) and [**Scene2Ds**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene2d).

This concept can be applied as well to a **Scene2D Object**. We start by [configuring the **Scene**](#scene-configuration), then [build the **Logic**](#logic), and finally show the [result](#final-result). ### Scene Configuration We consider a [**Scene**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene) with two [**Objects**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/objects-and-types/scene-objects): a red [**Torus**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/objects-and-types/scene-objects/primitives#torus) and a [**Directional Light**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/objects-and-types/scene-objects/lights), both of which can be easily created in the [**Scene Outliner**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/modules/scene-outliner). Then, we set the `Scale` **Attribute** of the **Torus** to $$(2, 2, 2)$$ and the `Position` of the **Light** to $$(0, 200, 0)$$. See this configuration in the following image: ![Scene configuration.](https://1553081948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FU990HLHWA30dTfELtDUK%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a0cb42d00ddf3e893a3bc8bd33698c46b01ca1de%2FExampleRotateTo_1.png?alt=media) ### Logic We then need to configure the **Logic**. This is done in the [**Logic Editor**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/modules/logic-editor). We will use two **RotateTo Action** **Nodes** in order to first perform a *rotation* and then reverse it. For the first one, we set the following **Attributes**: * `To`: $$(90, 90, 0)$$ * `Duration (sec)`: $$2$$ * `Interpolation`: `Linear` And for the second **Node**: * `To`: $$(0, 0, 0)$$ * `Duration (sec)`: $$2$$ * `Interpolation`: `Linear` Then, we connect to both **Nodes** the [**Object Node**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/objects-and-types/scene-objects#objects-in-the-logic) of the red **Torus**, a **Pulse** to the `Start` **Input Socket** of the first **RotateTo Action** and the **Output** `OnEnd` to the `Start` **Input** of the second **RotateTo Action** **Node**. Thus, having the following **Logic** configuration: ![Logic configuration.](https://1553081948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FU990HLHWA30dTfELtDUK%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-0a3053c206321aaed7a6b1618812f35a84afe708%2FExampleRotateTo_2.png?alt=media) ### Final result Finally, the effect of the **RotateTo Action** **Node** when triggered is the following: ![Final result.](https://1553081948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FU990HLHWA30dTfELtDUK%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-673a2b801e71d28df7607407ff37549b4c4e1712%2FExampleRotateTo_3.gif?alt=media) ## See Also * [**RotateBy Action**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/toolbox/actions/rotatebyaction) * [**RotateFromTo Action**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/toolbox/actions/rotatefromtoaction) ## External Links * [*Rotation*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation) on Wikipedia * [*Euler angles*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles) on Wikipedia
