I am working on a sequel of my game and am trying to make an attack that curves and hits from the side. I made a testing project but the starting position of the arrow is offset so please check it out, remix and clarify what happened, and how you fixed it..

that is great and all, but if you studied the scripts in the project I linked, you would have found that I tried to give it a target.

Why does it go to sprite 2 to create clone of myself and then point towards sprite 1? Isn't that backwards?

sprite2 is the attacker
sprite1 is the target
sprite1 is the target

Let me ask you this… Is what you are trying to do is have an arrow go from one sprite to the other sprite, but in a curving path?

I deleted your code and used deck26's “gradual turn to” algorithm instead.

Thank you so much! I will definitely use it in my project.

I tried to put it in my game's code but some stuff just goes in circles…
(Edit: I tried tinkering, it did not work…)

With that algorithm I suspect that if source and target are in just the wrong relationship it may be possible to go into ‘orbit’ around a target as you keep turning and turning towards it.
I have a couple of slightly more refined versions of the algorithm that solve that problem, but the code is more complex. Have a look for a bunch of projects called “Curvinator”. It's basically the same algorithm in a slightly different context (drawing the curve rather than following it in real time) so you should be able to adapt it.
If you share the game with the code added I'll look at it when I get a chance.

I almost forgot. An alternative algorithm. Take the distance from sprite 1 to sprite 2, and halve it. Place a point off to one side at 90 degrees from the line between the sprites at the halfway point, maybe 25% of the distance off to one side.
Then find the circle that goes through the 3 points and follow that. Fortunately code to fit a circle to three points is easy to find on Scratch, eg https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/14778064/
with this algorithm your curves will be smooth, symmetrical, and deterministic.
