How to use 2 actions at the same time.

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone. This is my first time posting here so let me know if I forgot something

I am creating a block where I'd like to have 2 rectangles rotating different directions (like doors), but I'd like to rotate them using the same action.

This is what I have so far                                                     This is what I need it to do with only one handle (ideally)

       

Thanks a lot!

Opposite rotation is certainly possible but fairly complicated.  I remember when I first figured out how to do it, I thought it was a very cool method.  In the future, post your block with any inquiry.  It's a bit of a pain to start from scratch to demonstrate a method.

Wow that's so much more complicated than I thought. Thanks a lot for showing me! Next time, I'll upload my file. Sorry about that 🙂

I was looking at your pic and it shows that your two rotation parameters have increments set.  If you are using increments then you could match the two rotations with a double lookup or block properties table.  That might be simpler conceptually, but takes a while to get the tables correct.  If you want to use that approach and do not know how to make a double lookup, do a search for a thread I titled, "How to make a double lookup".
