Hi, I'm trying to work out how to calculate the direction to a point on the screen. Anyone know how to do this? I'm guessing it's something using sin but I have no idea what :s

Note: Trying to avoid using a new sprite and having it go somewhere to be pointed at

atan2...Wikipedia will be your friend here.

Yes...but it requires some trig...actually, I have a tutorial on this.

Clicky.

Thanks for all of these; they were very useful and I might go over that trig tutorial sometime to check if there's anything else I don't know from it. I'm already fine with pendulum motions, oscillation and such so this was the last main obvious thing.

Pity the codes so long <.<

There's actually an obsolete block for this--I know it will work downloaded, maybe in Java, but not in Flash.

Huh, that's cool; though I try to avoid using those to stop people form having to download the project.

Easiest solution:

Make an invisible sprite at those coordinates. Make the shown sprite face the invisible one! Voila.

Point in direction of x-y co-ordinate?
