Make sure the custom block is set to non-refresh and use the following -

The block should be called from the sprite that needs to turn. target sprite is the sprite that it needs to turn towards. current direction, target direction and delta direction are all local (this sprite only) variables. rotation speed is the speed at which you want it to turn.

That's a nice script, but I don't think that the

variable is necessary because it just renames a pre-prepared variable in the game
EDIT: Forget everything I said. I speedread sometimes, and evidently I did so when posting here

Are you saying it doesn't rotate towards facing the target? If so, can you share your project as I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

Usiah

ok

RokCoder

You need to look closely at the groupings of the operators in this line -

You've grouped them differently in your project which is why it isn't working properly.

For clarity (because it's not really clear to look at) -

point in direction ( current direction + ( ( delta direction / abs of delta direction ) * rotation speed ) )

Instead of directly pointing in the direction, is there a way to output which way it needs to turn?

Nvm I got it. Thanks for the scripts.

so I followed this code and while it does work it doesn't rotate as slow as I want it to. I probably did something wrong though so here's my project if someone wants to look through it and help me. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/632454583/ . the thing that is supposed to turn is the grey tanks turret.

I think you need to set the rotation speed to something first
