How do I set the direction to left or right on mouse control

there is a small problem ive just discovered. i set a gun to the mouse for rotation, but when turn it to the other side, it rotates. How do i fix this problem?

Sounds to me like you want to set the direction of the sprite only left to right?

Use MIRROR

You mean the image flips?

You can set the sprite to NO in rotations and choose just left and right directions and use mirror.

If it is a turret this is my Turret CAPX:

More information needed. A screenshot would be helpful, a capx would be ideal.

OK how do I send it?

yeah flip image. Also, once i stop aiming and move around, it stays in that position

Upload it (screenshot or capx - if it's a capx please try to provide the smallest possible capx that still represents your problem) somewhere (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc), mark the file as public, then post the link here.

You need to set the position of the turret using Every Tick.

Every Tick: Set angle Turret to Mouse X Mouse Y

You can look at that CAPX I linked to and see how I do it using mouse or touch.

what about the gamepad for right analog stick? it will rotate

I took a look at your capx. The gun rotating is just standard behavior for Construct 2, far as I know. Do you not want the gun to rotate at all or only to a certain degree (i.e, so the player's head can't all go Exorcist suddenly if the mouse turns too far)? Just want to be sure, as I've made some changes to improve your capx based on your issues, so input is needed.

Also, please do not create a separate thread for this, just keep problems per capx to one thread if you can.
