Rotation

[Almightyzentaco]

What's the best way to rotate an object toward another object?

I'm trying to get a large beam to fire out of the player toward the angle of the mouse.

you could use an invisible object which always positions x and y tothat of the mouse and then have your player always look at the invisible object.

but, this method is limited to 32 angles

if you need 360º rotations, you should look at this example

I tried that, and I think I must be doing something wrong.
I'm getting the angle properly, I think, but I'm having some trouble applying it properly.

Here's my code. http://www.sendspace.com/file/cm9u5d in case anyone is intrested in helping.

Thanks.

Well, I didn't look at your example entirely, but since you are already using the advanced direction object, I simply used your set angle action at the bottom of the events to:

Direction( "Advanced Direction Object", XMouse, YMouse, X( "Player" ), Y( "Player" ))+90

It worked flawlessly. I hope this is the solution.
