I'm working on a shooter, and I wan't my player to smoothly (but quickly) point towards the mouse. Is there a way to do this?
I've tried this script, but when I face at the -180 to 180 mark, it rotates the opposite way:

 
forever
set mdir
turn cw ((.5) * ((mouse dir) - (direction))) degrees
end
define set mdir
set [prev dir v] to (direction)
point towards [mouse pointer v]
set [mouse dir v] to (direction)
point in direction (prev dir)

I can't find any other solutions, is there any others?

Hi ThatOneCoder435,

I think my Smooth Rotate tool will do what you're looking for.

Tool: Smooth Rotate Toward
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/690745166
Some notes about they work: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/6298326/

(They handle the -180/180 split properly.)

You can use either of the backpackable custom blocks in the first sprite (Rotate Toward).

Thanks, your project is very useful! however, I'm trying to make the player rotate smoothly, similar to this: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/723576660/

I don't understand what you want to do that my project doesn't. (Maybe something to add?) The values commented in the green flag loop determine how “snappy” the rotation is.
