Making a Sprite look at Mouse cursor using costumes instead?

Newman699

i'm working on a project, and i want the character to look at the mouse cursor, but without turning. so i'd just want to use costumes instead.
i had an idea of using triggers on screen, but i haven't tested it out. i'd definitely like some help. thank you! EDIT: here's an example project for everybody: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/844789013/

Could this work?

I have an idea (no clue if this works) so basically you need to make a costume for every degree the object can turn. then, you make a script like this that detects the costume with the direction from another invisible sprite that points at the mouse. unless you wanted to make 360 costumes, though, then you could do this:

if <<(Direction) < [NUMBER]> and <[Direction] > [NUMBER]>> then
switch costume to [EXAMPLE]
end

that would just make the charecter spin
