    Are you having it vectortoangle to mouse position?
    Make sure its something like this:
    vectorToAngle(mouse.position.X-self.position.X,mouse.position.Y-self.position.Y)
    Or something like that!

    I do not undestand Rumi

    Here a image http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6352083/duda.jpg

    But when you say me vectorToAngle, i don´t find any behavior with that attribute. I do not know if i need to build a constrain attribute or create a rule. And then where to write (mouse.position.X-self.position.X,mouse.position.Y-self.position.Y)

    Because for me is it very hard for me now.
    What do you mean with "mouse.positionX- self.positionX"
    I look that in other posts but i don´t understand what to do

    Regards

    The otherway is just easier.... but okay.

    When we say "self" we mean the actor you're editing.

    In your case:

    Contrain attribute
    Game.tanker.rotate TO VectorToAngle(game.mouse.position.X-tanker.position.X,game.mouse.position.Y-tanker.position.Y)

    Dont use "rotate to position"

    Secondly: You need to change your image. cause gamesalad on rotates around center. so you need to extend the space behind the turret så i look like it rotate currectly....

    Like i said earlier... i will gladly take a look at it. its always easier learn by its done right the first time.

    And i do not understand why "game.mouse.position.X-tanker.position.X" what is it the end?

    I think the problem is with the image, you want it to rotate from the turret so you will need some blank space...let me try and show you..

    Sorry but does not work again I modify my image how UtopianGames and Tshirtbooth say but nothing. Here a example http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6352083/TEST.jpg

    I think that i fall i the Constrain Attribute

    self.Rotation

    to

    vectorToAngle( self.Position.X - game.Mouse.Position.X , self.Position.Y - game.Mouse.Position.Y )

    I need a noob class about what it mean (anything.x-anything.x,anything.y-anything.y)

    And Thanks everyone for their patience
