How to set active to face direction of touch

[jay73]

Hi,

I think this must be quite simple but I can't figure it out. I need an active to face the direction of touch. So if someone moves their finger left, the active would face left and so on but for the complete 360 range.

I have this working when using the mouse movement control but this doesn't work on android screens.

Thanks very much for any help.

How are you doing it now?

You can use the "Angle of a vector" in any object's expression to retrieve the angle between itself and another point, such as the coordinates of the mouse/first touch.

Thanks very much ProdigyX, I'll look into the angle of vector expression.

I couldn't find the vector when using the android multitouch. But I have it working kind of (please see attached file) - it works fine when clicking at an angle and then releasing the button and repeating, but when keeping the mouse button clicked and moving around the angle of the active object doesn't change fast enough. Is there any way to make the active's angle change instantly?

Thanks
