point in direction ((90) - ([arctangent] of (((CloneY) - (Y)) / ((CloneX) - (X))

The script above simply points immediately towards the clone instead of slowly.

Sorry but Arctangent should be in operators form, I'm new to forums.

(I also haven't learned trigonometry yet.)

Hello! RT_Borg made a project where it demonstrated how to smoothly rotate toward an object here.

But it doesn't cover pointing in the direction of a clone

You can replace the X and Y coordinates with a clone's X and Y coordinates (store in a variable or a list).

Ok thanks, I will try that.

have you tried using a list or do this

when green flag clicked
set [myself v] to [sprite1]
create clone of [myself v]
forever
turn cw (((clone dir) - (direction)) / (6)) degrees
end
when I start as a clone
forever
go to (myself)
point in direction (pick random (1) to (360))
move (pick random (50) to (200)) steps
set [clone dir v] to (direction)
point in direction (90 v)
wait (1) secs
end

for lists

when green flag clicked
delete (all v) of [m/d v]
add [sprite1] to [m/d v]
add [0] to [m/d v]
create clone of [myself v]
forever
turn cw (((item (2 v) of [m/d v] :: m/d) - (direction)) / (6)) degrees
end
when I start as a clone
forever
go to (item (1 v) of [m/d v] :: m/d)
point in direction (pick random (1) to (360))
move (pick random (50) to (200)) steps
replace item (2 v) of [m/d v] with (direction)
point in direction (90 v)
wait (1) secs
end

Yes, I have been using lists instead of variable like:

((90) - ([ atan] of ((((item ( TargetClone#) of [CloneY] :: list)) - (y position)) / (((item ( TargetClone#) of [CloneX] :: list)) - (x position)))))

But I have been using the scripts that were linked through the first reply. So I only have need of:

(item ( TargetClone#) of [CloneY] :: list)
