Now, what we've done is we've used an angle list setting so that we've got those increments of angles. You can see the little lines there near the word Valve of Valve Angle. Now, as usual, when you apply a parameter in a dynamic lock, you often need to apply an action to that parameter. So you can see at the moment, we've got our little yellow exclamation mark in place there. So we now need to add a rotation action to our valve angle parameter that we've already set up. So, I'm still in the Block Editor. I go to the Block Authoring Palette and select actions, and there's my Rotate action just there. So I click on Rotate and come into the drawing area.
