I'm trying to give a bunch of PowerPoint slides some life by animating them or making them interactive by rotating a dial 360 degrees with 0 degrees starting at 3 o'clock and rotating counter clock-wise in 30 degree increments. I have tried many different dial settings, some getting odd or unpredictable results, but none have worked. I have attached my SL360 file along with some pictures of what I am trying to simulate. Getting the different slides to show as layers in SL360 is no problem. I'm just trying to get the dial to rotate in the direction that is the normal convention for this topic. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.
Have a look at the attached and see if that's what you wanted. In addition to the dial settings, you also need to use a trigger to initially set the dial variable.
Yes, AWESOME! That's what I am looking for. So, I see, starting it at 360 with the trigger only allows me to go back (CCW) which is exactly what I needed. Thank you Michael. I believe you half helped me on few of these I've gotten stuck on. Thank you for responding so quickly as well.

Yes, the trick here is to initially set the dial to its max value, so that the only way to move it is "to go back".
And if you do want to display the degrees as the dial turns, it only requires a bit of basic math. See attached a revised file.
