Mouse cursor is something that the player controls and sees all the time, that's why it is so important to make it cool!

I was messing around with the new lighting system, where it's already set up to have the light source set to the position of the mouse.

I then added in a simple piece that would rotate the layout.

Every tick - Set layoutAngle to layoutAngle+1

The light simply doesn't follow the mouse cursor anymore. I've tried using absolute in the hopes that that works, but sadly not.

Is this even possible with rotating layouts? It seems to base the position on where the mouse cursor would be if the screen wasn't rotating.

Seriously? It would take less time to create it than it would to upload it, seeing as it's already in the examples folder.

*EDIT* My mistake - I forgot to mention I was using the lighting example.

Use Mouse.X(0), Mouse.Y(0) to get the mouse position on layer 0.

Or Mouse.X("layername"), Mouse.Y("layername").
