How do I maintain the angle of motion

Hi,

I'm using the 8 directional movement behaviour and all works well as the piece moves and rotates as you'd expect. However, once I stop moving it resets the angle of the sprite to the nearest 90 degree (0,90,180,270) - Is there a way to stop this please ?

Thanks

Ian

In the 8 Direction Behaviors you can set SET ANGLE to No or to angle you are using.

Hi Lamar,

Thanks for the reply. Setting the angle to no means that it doesn't rotate at all, which is not what I'm after. I want it to rotate, using 360 smooth, and then to stay facing the angle it's in when I let go of the keys. Instead, it just returns to the nearest 90 degree angle.

Is there a way to move in 360 degrees, but keep that angle when stopped please ?

Thanks.

Try setting "set angle" to no and making an event:

Sprite: 8direction: is moving

--- sprite: set angle to sprite.8direction.angleOfMotion

I should have asked you if it is a car like sprite.

See ROJOhound comment. That should take care of it.

Doesn't seem to work either I'm afraid Rojo. I've posted a capx here:

Which shows it going back to a right angle.
