Scratch

And as the stick goes down, it stays there. I can't think of anything that would do this, and i know it involves Trigonometry

confusing...........hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i do not know

put the rotation centre to the edge of the bucket then put this script in

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<go to[ stick
<point in direction( however much
<set x to( (( sin ( <direction> <*> however much ))
<set y to( (( cos ( <direction> <*> however much ))
<end>

no wait change the

set x and set y to change 

<point in direction( direction of stick
<turn cw( <{ turn amount }> )degrees>

put that instead of the point in direction 

See, the problem is the rotation center isn't actually centered. It's at the bottom of the "stick", so that's where the "bucket" goes, not the top

yes thats the fact of change x and y, put tht * on the end up more to test 

What? IF you're saying multiply, I tried from 1-100and it didn't work

it didn't move?

It moved, but I didn't get the desired effect. If only you could tell how long a sprite was, you could just add that to it

upload it and I'll see it 

I didn't really want to because A: Has no storyline, no objective, and B: I wanna kind of keep it secret. Think you can make a quick demo?

I'll try

Thanks. Just like a bucket on a stick. In the meantime, I'll try too

Yup. Works now. Of course, using what you said

I just thought of another method  , <move( however many steps )steps>

instead of change x and y 

But this way is working. Now to add a cable and direction, and than make an objective and purpose
