Point to destination while gliding to a position?

linenum

Hi is there a way to make a sprite point in the direction of the destination when using “glide”? Thanks.

You can make a new sprite (destination), make a sprite point towards (destination) and glide towards (destination)

point towards [destination]

glide () secs to [destination]

Hi I'm using dozens of clones so I guess that might mean spawning extra sprites?

Hi I worked it out myself…. I made a script that converts x and y offsets to degrees. People can let me know if they have any improvements…

define Get direction
if <[y] = [0]> then 
  if <> then 
  else
  end
else

end

See:
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/388774896/

define Get direction
if <[y] = [0]> then 
  if <[x] < [0]> then 
    set [calculated direction] to [-90]
  else
    set [calculated direction] to [90]
  end
else
    set [calculated direction] to ([atan] of ((x) / (y)))
end
if <[y] < [0]> then 
    change [calculated direction] by [180]
end
