I'm trying to figure out how to have the object rotate to the angle to kind of create a meteor effect.... I knew how to do this before but i completely forgot here's what I'm trying to do...

    "how to have the object rotate to the angle" ?

    What is 'the angle' ?

    Your image shows two meteors, both labelled as head, not sure what information this is conveying ?

    Are you trying to rotate the actor to match the direction it's moving?

    Or it will always face the direction it's moving?

    Or how to move an actor in an arc pattern?

    Use a constrain attribute:
    self.rotation to: vectorToAngle(self.Motion.LinearVelocity.X,self.Motion.LinearVelocity.Y)
