Hi all, thought I'd try a hungry shark game as my first project however I can't figure out how to keep my sprite facing the mouse pointer (without him flipping upside down)
Project is here …
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/96099541/#player

I think. Help / remixes appreciated.

Also, any idea how I can have the background loop so that the shark an basically swim left or right forever without me having to draw a load of scenery sprites?

Thanks

Here's the script I would use:

when green flag clicked
point in direction (90 v)
go to x: (0) y: (0)
forever
    
if <([x position v] of [Shark v]) > (mouse x)> then
    
switch costume to [shark-a-left v]
end
if <([x position v] of [Shark v]) < (mouse x)> then
    
switch costume to [shark-a-left v]
end
go to [mouse pointer v]
end

I hope this helps!

Hi,

In the “Sprites” box locate the shark sprite and click the blue “i” symbol in the top right corner of its icon. Then find the button which looks like this: <-> and select it.

I hope this helps!

Yeah i been having the same issue also. But I need it to stay on the ground without like.. Flying?

I'm not sure if this is it, but I tried.

point in direction ( 90)
set rotation style [all around]
forever
point towards [mouse cursor]
end
