Aim with mouse?

1

Hi, im making a top-down tile based shooter, and i was wondering how to make the character pivot and aim based on the position of the mouse…

2

read up on “radians”, and how to use them

yeah shoulda done that, but i’d rather have some constructive ****e floating around

**Its more the pivoting im worried about… I cant get it to work at the same time

stick this on the bit you want to rotate, and edit the your_mc bit to whatever youve named it:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
radians = Math.atan2(_root.mouse._y-_root.your_mc._y, _root.mouse._x-_root.your_mc._x)
_rotation = radians*(180/Math.PI)
}

wait a minute, i Think i know what my problem is
