Hi again! I was wondering how I can make a turret that is stationary rotate and follow the mouse icon (actually I just want it to point where the user presses on the screen on an ipad so it will launch a missile at the exact point where pressed as well. Oh and I want to make it only when clicking on the top half of the screen. Does that make sense? Any help is greatly appreciated =)

    I suggest TSB's Missile Command Template.

    Believe me I really wanna get that one badly... just pretty poor right now, Jeff.I'm actually working on a missile command game too (thus the question on rotation). Hehehe I'm the best at art and graphics design but complete sh*t at understanding the programming aspects involved. I'd see if tshirtwould do a work in trade for it but judging from the graphics on his games I doubt he'd need my help =)Thanks for the tip though, I'll have to find a way to get$60 hehehe Cheers mate!

    in the actor do a constraint on a rotation.. in the expression do:
    vectortoangle(game.mouse.position.x-self.position.x, game.mouse.position.y-self.position.y)

    hope that helps..
