How do I set sprite angle to angle of physics motion

Hi everyone,

probably an easy one, but can someone tell me how to set the angle of a sprite to the angle of its motion? By that I mean so the sprite is always 'facing' the direction it is traveling in (like a rocket).

Thanks!

set angle of sprite to

angle(0,0,self.Physics.VelocityX,self.Physics.VelocityY)

set angle of sprite to

angle(0,0,self.Physics.VelocityX,self.Physics.VelocityY)

That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Just one question, I understand the self.Physics.VelocityX,self.Physics.VelocityY, but why put 0,0 in there first? And how did you work out you needed to do that?

Thanks again for your help!

by standing on the shoulders of giants

angle(x1, y1, x2, y2) Calculate angle between two points

self.physics.velocityx and self.physics.velocityy is the velocity (speed) in pixels / second so for example if velocityx is 4 and velocityy is 3 then angle(0,0,4,3) is going to give you the angle from 0,0 to 4,3 (30 degrees ?)

Hope this helps ?

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain! Yeah that helped a lot, much appreciated .
