    Hello

    I’m working on a wristwatch, following the puzzles from this link but having some issues
    First, the time the watch shows is not correct and then the “second hand” goes from 55 seconds to 13 seconds and then jumps back

    the 3d model has all the hands set to 12’a clock positions

    Below the puzzle I recreated from that previously mentioned post

    I did create 3 variables: zeiger_stunde, zeiger_minute and zeiger_sekunde

    I didn’t do anything else in there yet

    Am I missing something?
    I also saw that user @kdv answered with a code snippet, but I don’t understand where and if I have to put this in

    I hope someone here can help me to get this sorted out

    You’ve re-created wrong logic from the post with not quite correct logic…

    If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of meaning at all.

    Just click on “do something” and type in whatever you want.

    that doesnt work
    i tried left click, double click and right click
    when I left click within the procedure library then it jumps into the main scene and right click only provides me with some options like save to library et cetera

    ah, disregard that
    I figured it out
    Had to select the main procedure first

    Something weird is happening
    now it shows the time correctly, but when it reaches 15 seconds, the second hand starts rotating over the Z axys
    same happens when it reaches the 45 second point

    First I thought it had something to do with the meshes, so I recreated all 3 hands from scratch to be 100% sure that there wasn’t any issue with the pivots, but it keeps happening

    I created the puzzle exactly as @kdv showed me (thanks to him for the incredible support on my last posts )

    Any idea whats going on here?

    reset rotation for the dialers. the initial rotation should be 0,0,0. or you should set correct angles every time.
    In my demo the minutes dialer is initially rotated by 90° (don’t know why. it’s not my model). so I need to set X rotation to 90° to eliminate that “15-45” issue

    But it’s better to set rotation to zero values.

    had to play around a bit with the X values, have it set now to those values and it seems to work just fine
    Thanks for your great help :good:
