shoot straight up

Hi Scirra community,

I was follwing this YouTube tut

- "Rotary Tutorial In "Construct 2" | Mario Galaxy Mechanic"

So you move left/right and the player-sprite remains fixed, but everything else on the layout rotates (pretty cool).

So I added a Touch control so the player spawns a bullet-sprite. I want the bullet-sprite to go up and if rotation, continue in that projector (ghosh - I hope this makes sense???)

Here's a video of what I did http://robfreeman.co.uk/game_demo/

on Layout0, everything rotates.

on Layout1, I have an anchored a Yellow block 'TARG'... my green-thin-line bullets are supposed to always point towatds this marker on create.... but i cannot get it working.

here's my capx http://robfreeman.co.uk/demo.capx

I'd be grateful of any assistance.

Roberto

You need your projectiles to be on a layer that is not rotated.

Then you can translate your objects' positions in rotated space into the absolute space coordinates, using CanvasToLayerX and CanvasToLayerY.

Thanks gumshoe2029,

I've never used CanvasToLayerX before as I'm still a noob. I will however, research CanvasToLayerX.

Thanks,

Roberto
