vector to angle problem

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
I have a problem with an actor that has the vector to angle expression on it. what the expression is telling it to do is to rotate toward touch. When touch is released I have the actor move toward the touch. the problem is when I have the actor move lets say to the right I touch the screen and the angle is facing AWAY from the touch. How can I fix this?

    You are prob using relative to actor instead of scene for your moves

    On the arrow , i have a constrain to -vector to angle (selfpositionX-mouseX,selfpositionY-mouseY)

    In otherwords i cant change the relitivity. Can anyone solve this?

    Try putting (self.position.x-mouseposition.x and self.position.y-mouseposition.y)

    nope, that just inverts it. This is really bugging me, I can't figure it out?!?!?! :(

    Could the problem be that the attributes are integer not real?
  • tenrdrmertenrdrmer Member, Sous Chef, Senior Sous-Chef Posts: 9,934
    yep that will likely cause issues. anytime there is a chance of decimals you need to use real. I don't know if it causing your problem but that could be it.

    it wasn't. for some reason it doesnt get messed up until it gets to the other platform?

    Its it possible for the vector to angle to get messed up after it gets to a certain part of the screen?

    What is your screen size?

    It seems like the rotation is not taking into account the additional x locations.

    Try Rotating to
    game.Touches.Touch 1.X + scene.Camera.Origin.X
    And the y equivalent.

    The actor needs to be on the Scene Preview window to have access to the Scene attributes.

    Hope this works

    Cheers
