Unsure about how to move this object...

[Wra1thus]

I am trying to make my object be able to move 8 directions and want to have it always face in the direction of the mouse, which is fine, except the 8 direction graphic takes precedence over facing where the mouse cursor is. So he will be moving and facing up while I want him to move up while facing the mouse, just not sure how to do it...thanks!

I think you can disable automatic rotations in the properties, which will fix this.

You should instead use an invisible object for the 8-direction movement and then always setting the visible object's position to the invisible one. That way it will appear you are controlling the visible object but you are still able to control it's direction/angle in any way you want without messing up the movement.

And you can use the one with the movement as a detector, making collisions perfect

Is there anyway I could get an example of this? Or a tutorial on it?
Thanks!
