My Code Clubbers are having problems with trying to get our boat sprite following the mouse pointer. The boat moves in a straight line and totally ignores the mouse pointer. Here is the script we are using:
when green flag clicked
point in direction ( 0)
go to x: (-190) y: (-150)
forever
point towards
move (1) steps
end
We can't see what we are doing wrong. Any ideas?

There is a known problem in Scratch with the

block; to fix it just reselect mouse-pointer from the block's drop down menu.

Here you go https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/120077769/ you cans ee the bug in action and fix as suggested if you like

all i did was click the mouse pointer and reselected mouse pointer and then it was working

(remember to save it if it works)

I'm having a problem with my sprite following the mouse pointer. it's following it but the mouse pointer needs to be far away from the sprite for it to move. I'm bad at explaining things so if you need me to say it again let me know.

Hello there I found out the way to stop this problem here it is

My problem is, the sprite is centered and right side up, and it is following my sprite withit's butt towards me, not it's head. Any help?

Flip the sprite around.
