Gta moving

[Janman]

Hello,
I want to create a game like Gta.
I want to make it 2d, so you can see it from above. How do I make the movement?
By that way, i want the "character" to look in direction of mouse.

That is a very specific request. Your best bet would be to check out the Tutorials on the sidebar ---> and learn to make a Custom Movement.

Wrong forum, by the way.

Janman, look into the Advanced Direction object or some angle algorithms that can be found around.

For example, you can use the direction between two points using this formula:

Set angle of Player to:
Abs(360*Min(Max(YMouse-Y("Player")+1, 0), 1)-(ASin((X("Player")-XMouse)/Sqr((XMouse-X("Player")) pow 2+((YMouse)-Y("Player")) pow 2))+270))

...Or Atan2(YMouse-Y("Player"),XMouse-X("Player"))

Working example ... here. Did I mention I made it? I can modify it for you in a specific way if you want. It uses ATan2.

I thought ATan2 only worked on HWA. I guess I've been out of the loop. SATs are annoying...

ATan2 is included as per Build 248, I believe.

Oh yeah! Nice, I didn't realize that worked.
