Hello,

can anybody point me into the direction to make a hud compass which points to a non movable actor in a scrolling scene environment...

    inside Objective actor
    +Constrain Attribute Behavior
    Constrain Attribute: game.objectiveX
    to: self.position.X
    +Constrain Attribute Behavior#2
    Constrain Attribute: game.objectiveY
    to: self.position.Y

    inside Compass actor
    +Constrain Attribute Behavior
    Constrain Attribute: self.rotation
    to: vectorToAngle(game.objectiveX-self.position.X, game.objectiveY-self.position.Y)

    Depending on if your compass is originally pointing up or down, you may need to add +90 or -90 at the end of the last expression

    when i do this the compass on the hud layer rotates some degress and points to the objective but i do have a player actor which is moving through the level. So the compass should constantly update somehow?!

    Are you using constrain attributes or change attribute? if so then try constraining your compass to a point on the camera itself rather than using a whole new layer
