Help with rotating
okay obviously everyone is like "Wow, this will be easy to figure out what he wants, look at the title!"
Well I can't really Explain this in a title without a paragraph
First look at my scratch game "Minecraft" and then read the rest..
You see the arm of Steve(My character), I've tried several time trying to get it to rotate without completely turning it upside down while its the other way around (While still following my mouse)
And I cant just make it work properly! Because I cant just make it turn around only 2 ways, it has to be able to face up, down, left, and right just by moving my mouse
In simple words I want to know how to clip it on his body while still being able to move around
Confused?
Ill try to tell you what I mean
The arm has a sleeve then a skin part...
I want the sleeve to be stuck on the body and the skin moveable...
Oh, I have an idea to make it better
the skin CANT touch the body

Re: Help with rotating
What you need to do is make another costume with the arm upside down.
Then add this script:
when gf clicked forever point towards [mouse-pointer v] if <(direction) > [0]> switch to costume [normal v] else switch to costume [upside down v] end end

If you are having trouble with simple counting, use the following mnemonic device: 1 comes before 2 comes before 5,280 comes before 523,860,759 comes after the square root of -153 comes before π. This will make your previous counting problems seem like no big deal.

Hmm I'll try that
Finished : Thx, But it only works if hes facing left, not right. and when the hand moves it detaches from the body...
