This Node has different versions for and . Find in the tabs below the documentation for both versions.
Overview
The RotateTo Action Node continuously rotates a to the Euler angles 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
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
Instance ID
InstanceID
(â–º) Start
Pulse
A standard Input Pulse, to trigger the execution of the Node.
Object ID
ObjectID
The ID of the target Object.
Duration
Float
The total time (in seconds).
To
Vector3
The Euler angles along the X, Y, and Z axes to rotate to.
Outputs
Instance ID

OnStart (â–º)
Pulse
Flows to the next Node following RotateTo Action when the Action starts.
OnEnd (â–º)
Pulse
Flows to the next Node following RotateTo Action when the Action stops.
This section shows a simple example of how to use the RotateTo Action Node and the effect it has on a Scene Object. This concept can be applied as well to a Scene2D Object.
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:
Duration (sec):
Interpolation: Linear
And for the second Node:
To:
Duration (sec):
Interpolation: Linear
Finally, the effect of the RotateTo 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 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 .
Then, we connect to both Nodes the 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:
