Line overlaps and object?

I can but not at the moment. Maybe later I'll get back to u on that

ADO (Advanced Direction Object)

Or you can use math. I think if you get 360 and subtract the degrees from it, it will give you the degrees in reverse.

Eg: you get 25 degrees = 360-25 = 335 degrees

Turns out that atan2(-y, x) works. If the result is a negative value, you add 360 to it. That gets a range of angles from 0 - 360 going counterclockwise with 0 degrees on the right/east side of the circle.

Thanks anywho. This thread has taut me loads. :D

Probably simpler with ADO but glad you figured it out! ;)

That's just to see if there is something in between the two points. I'm sure there would be a way to get the entire box through this like xyzzy said, except you would get even the transparent ones anyway. I haven't tested it yet, but I'll see if it works.

For some reason MMF2 rounds it so it doesn't :(
