simple pointer demo(how to make an actor point to another...

Postby Sgt. Sparky » Wed Jul 04, 2007 5:53 pm

actor,
it is VERY, VERY simple. :D
to make the pointer point at another actor just change the code on the draw actor event of your pointer to,
Code: Select all
animpos = direction(x, y, yourotheractor.x, yourotheractor.y) / 10;

:D
the reason I made this Dmo is because so many people ask how to rotate an actor,
so other people have to answer again and again each time.
