How can I point an object towards the cursor ?

[keokeo]

I have two active objects and I move one of them with the mouse like a cursor. I want the second object (static) which looks like a finger to rorate and point to whenever the first object/cursor is. Is there a way to do that besides drawing 32 different frames of animation? Some mathematical formula or something? I'm trying to learn some math so if there's a math related solution I would be glad to hear it. Thanks

Yes! MMF2 has an "angle" option which rotates the active object at runtime to the angle you type in.

If you use the extension "Clickteam Movement Controller" you can set the rotated angle of the hand object to the angle between the two objects.

Finding the angle between two objects is an option inside the Clickteam Movement Controller.


AngleObjects( "Clickteam Movement Controller", >fixed value<, >fixed value<)

Thanks Nick, that's great. My only problem is, what do I substitute the ">fixed value<: parts with? I thought it would be the names of the objects but that doesn't work.

EDIT Nevermind, I'm a moron but I found it. I had never use the fixed value thing before.
