Make sure the costume is facing right in the editor.

If the sprite is something like a person set rotation style to left-right and make sure you point in the direction you're going to move.

If the sprite can rotate all round set that rotation style and again make sure you point in the direction you want to move.

Please don't necropost. Create your own topic if you have a question.

Righto. You need a bit of math for this. OR you could use a bit of a trick.

You can first make a new sprite. It can be completely blank, and make sure you hide it so it doesn't interrupt the project.

Now, before the glide, move the new sprite to whatever destination you're gliding to.

You can now run the “point towards (The NewSprite's Name)” before gliding.

Hope this helped!

use this in your code that moves randomly

your sprite will move randomly but face the same direction.
and if you want your sprite to rotate again use

in that code…

you can just make another costume and flip it horizontally.
