analog clock in ATL [SOLVED]

[saguaro]

I was hoping I could achieve this with ATL so I wouldn't have to make an animation. I have a clock face and a separate minute and hour hand, and I am layering the images and using transforms on the hands. This was the last thing I tried:

Code: Select all

transform timeforward:
    alignaround (0.5, 0.5)
    linear 1.0 clockwise circles 2

I can't figure out how to (or if I can) anchor the minute and hour hands to the center and have them rotate. Any help is much appreciated.

I suspect the easiest way would be to just have the face, hour hand, and minute hand all be the same (square) size, and then rotate them all.

Thanks, PyTom. I tried using rotate before, but I was Doing It Wrong (TM). I figured out how to use it properly. This is the solution:

Code: Select all

    image clock:
        "images/clock/clockface.png"
        yalign 0.5 xalign 0.5
        
    image minutes = "images/clock/minutehand.png"
    image hours = "images/clock/hourhand.png"
        
    transform timeforwardhours:
        xalign 0.5 yalign 0.5
       
        block:
            rotate 0
            linear 60.0 rotate 360
            repeat
        
    transform timeforwardminutes:
        xalign 0.5 yalign 0.5
        
        block:
            rotate 0
            linear 5.0 rotate 360
            repeat

There might be a more efficient way to write that, but this way I can use transforms that go clockwise or counter-clockwise. (To go backwards, just set the second rotate to -360.)
