Directional Positioning Math Problem

[Kid_Roleplay]

Say if you want something positioned at a distance away from an object according to its direction, and at an origin different from 0. You'd do:

Object 1:

Set position to 0,-64 of Object 2 (located)

This way, whatever direction Object 2 is facing, Object 1 will be attached 64 pixels above it in accordance to its direction. In this case, it's assumed the direction is 0, or facing right/east. Thus, if Object 2 is facing left/west, then Object 1 will be positioned 64 pixels below it. The position rotates.

What I need to figure out is how to do that with an expression, finding the X and Y coordinates of what this relative position should be, and then moving secondary objects towards it with only arrays (static movement).

Hi

I'm not quite sure what you are asking for but I made an example of how you can position an object a certain distance away from another depending on the objects direction.

See the attachment.

I hope this example will help you

Change the (*50) number at the end of X pos and Y pos of "Active 2" to change the distance.
