Dynamic Block Stretch Grips Changes the Rotation Angle on Y Axis Only

Tried to make a fridge block with a built in label that rotates when the block rotates so that it always legible. To do this I added one main rotate parameter for the entire fridge set to 90 deg increments, and then three separate rotates on the text as chain actions also set to 90 deg increments each. The fridge is also stretchable in width and depth.

 

the block works, however there is an odd glitch that whenever one of the stretch grips is used in the Y direction (doesn't matter which grip, when it is rotated, whichever is along Y is the one that glitches) the rotation angle changes and is no longer set to 90, 180, 270 etc. I attached the block for you to see. 


Is there a way to stop this from happening? Is the chain action causing this somehow? Any ideas to resolve?

 

Thanks!

Try replacing the two stretch actions that recenter the rotation parameter with Move actions.

 

Stretching a rotation parameter/action acts weird sometimes, I don't know why. Using a Move actions fixes it.

The stretch action does indeed act strange when shifting the rotate command. Adding a Move action did indeed fix this. Thank you!
