For a simple game I am making, I was wondering if any of you can help me make some sort of a screw emulation.

There’s a base screw-head and once the screwdriver is at hand, while pressing the left mouse button, the user must make circular motions around the screw head a couple times to screw open the screw. Is this possible?

I have tried several small pseudo codes, but to no avail.

I tried using a pseudo drag and drop combined with the \_rotation methods, but my actual code fails.

I tried following this code:

Detect left mouse click.  
If (clicked near the screw) -\>

```
  Get the original mouse locations _xmouse & _ymouse
  drag the invisible MC

```

Can someone lead me?  
thanks
