How to make a sprite rotate around another using your mouse.

Terragamza720

Im making a game wear you swing your sword/ pickaxe around and as you move your mouse the tools will rotate around the player but I don't know how to code that.

Thingied

when gf clicked
set [offset v] to (0)
forever 
go to [player v]
point towards [mouse-pointer v]
turn cw (offset) degrees
if <([abs v] of(offset))>(0)> then
change [offset v] by ((multiplier::grey)*(()-((offset)/([abs v] of (offset))
end
when gf clicked
forever
if <mouse down?>then 
repeat (...::grey)
change [offset v] by (...::grey)
end
wait until <not<mouse down?>>

The minus part that's left blank means 0, so you don't have to put anything there.

As for multiplier, I'm not sure, but it's probably the distance to the mouse pointer? IDK

Basically it's how fast the tool retracts.

When I do the code it stays inside of the player. I want it to circle around the player when you move your mouse and not on click.

This is what happens when i do the code:

Convert the costume to be vector and move it a little down and to the right like this:

The other script was terrible so here's a better version:

you could use a rotation matrix if the player is centered use this link for the rotation matrix the youtube link
