Need help with Sprites! - Rotating

mksean

How do I make my sprite rotate? I'm making a maze game right now, and I want the sprite to face the direction in which it is moving. For example, when it is moving right, I want it to face the right direction. And when it is going left, I want it to face the left direction. I've been trying to do it, but can't seem to make it work. Please check my project out on —> http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/42439014/#player and tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

you have rotation restricted to left-right. You need to modify the sprite's options to allow all round rotation or use the ‘set rotation style’ block to do so. Then you'll need to look for the up and down arrow keys to point in the right direction.

PaganoLeo10

//1) Set your rotation style to all around or use this:

set rotation style [all around v]

//2) Now, Use either of these blocks depending which way you want to go:

turn ccw (15) degrees

turn cw (15) degrees

//And now you are done!

using this moving engine will make it move up or down, and make it point in the direction you want it to.

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> then
point in direction (0 v)
change y by (5)
    
end
if <key [down arrow v] pressed?> then
point in direction (180 v)
change y by (-5)
    
end
if <key [right arrow v] pressed?> then
point in direction (90 v)
change x by (10)
    
end
if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> then
point in direction (-90 v)
change x by (-10)
    
end




end

Did you design the character yourself? For rotation to work properly all the costumes of the sprite must face right and that must be the direction the sprite should go.

For example, a rocketship would lie on its side with its nose pointing right.
