How do I draw a line between two image points. "lightning"

I saw a thread a while back and I got to thinking that being able to draw a line or link sprites together to connect points should be easy.. Just not easy enough for me to figure out. Does anyone know how to do this?

I've included a link to a creative guide, I just don't know how to translate it to C2.

If you are after a Straight line......Create a 1 or 2 pixel square Sprite object or better yet a tiled Background object

Set its x, y position to the first object...Then set the objects width to the distance between the 2 objects and the angle to the other objects x,y position(use image points x,y for accuracy)

Below I have included a simple demo of how to do it one way..there are most likely plenty of other ways..

Just Drag either object to see the line appear

Can you upload the capx again cause I need to refer it in my project. Very much appreciated. Thanks.

mystazsea hasn't been on this forum for over 6 months and hasn't posted for over 10 months, so you're request may go unaswered.

Hopefully, someone else may still have the file, but it was over a year ago.
