Point in hypotenuse direction
Is there any way you can setup a script to find the direction to make a right triangle? (Like if I made a length of 10 and a height of 7 it would find a direction to match that and make a perfect right triangle)
Here's the project if you need it

Point in hypotenuse direction
This will just require using some trigonometry, if you're trying to point in direction of the hypotenuse, you can use this block:
point in direction ([atan v] of ((x) / (y)))which finds the direction of the hypotenuse, (x is the adjacent, or the side on the floor, y is the opposite, or the side going up, in your case it would be b / a) if this isn't what you're looking for could you describe what you're trying to do a little more?

I recommend reading jvvg's essay about the scratch team before complaining, as it may change your opinion and provide insight on the topic.
coming soon :)

I tried this, but it didn't work. In the meantime, I will unshare the project until I can find a solution.
