edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
in my game i have a guy holding a gun

the gun is a seperate actor in my game

i want to be able to touch somewhere on the screen and have the gun point towards where i'm touching.
i also want to be able to move my finger on the screen and have the gun follow where im pointing but remain on a fixed axis

kind of like the cannon in the cannon shooter example on game salad but substitute touch instead of mouse movement.

    youll want to constarain the guns rotation to vectorToAngle(mouse.position.x-self.position.x',mouse.position.y-self.position.y')

    are you sure i want to put mouse position instead of touch position

    I think he meant touch position.

    he said (mouse.position.x)

    Right, but instead try touch position X and Y. Still, mouse position should still work, I think. Whats not working?

    i put in the lines of code he told me to but nothing happens. do i have to implement it with a rule or something else?

    can you try to make what i wanted and tell me how you did it?
