how to make hand (on a clock)?

[piki]

hello

if i want's to create gun object that will point allways in the direction of the mouse but will not move from it's position...like the gun stands in the mid lower position of the screen and when the mouse move , the gun (only the fron't of the gun) points into the positon of the mouse?

*actualy its like hand (on a clock) i guess or maybe rotation will be the right description.

thanks.

If 32 directions are enough, just create all the directions for the gun and have it always set to look at the mouse (you will need another object to track the mouse, you can make it invisible).

The problem was simple: You only had one animation frame, and it needs 32. Check the file archive. (Will post there in 5 minutes).

opps I thought you needed it 3d (automatically thought counter strike when you were talking about the gun) sorry to over complicate things then.
