How do I make a sprite rotate towards my mouse pointer at a set speed, kinda like a Dartling Gunner from Bloons TD? Thanks in advance!

Ok… so… are you familiar with trigonometry…? Because you're going to have to find the vector of the relative positions and move it like that…

Here is one way. You could look at how this was done. This has a block that runs without screen refresh. It sets one variable to the current direction the sprite is facing, then rotates to the direction of the mouse pointer and gets that direction. Finally, it rotates back to the direction it was before. Since this is done without refresh you won't see the sprite jerk back and forth.

Once it has those 2 angles, it takes the difference, and figures out if it should rotate left or right. Finally, it limits the amount of rotation by the rotation speed variable, and turns.
