Behaviors generally run all the time or at least have a 'delta' time which runs just like an every xxxx ms time delay.

Your best to create an action instead of a behavior as they can be controlled much easier to only run that as needed.

You can modify my custom rotate action below if you like. It takes in CC variables 'storageItem' (the object to rotate) and 'lidAxis' (x,y or z to rotate about). It uses a fixed rotation of 8 degrees and uses 'lid' variable as either open or close.

Just remove what you don't need and adjust to suit what you want. If you have trouble keep at it and over time understand how this weird function with this and me...sort of works...
