Hi,

As the title say, I'm working on a top down tank game and I need to move the tank with arrows and the turret to point to the mouse.

Any help?

I would simply use pin and pin the turret without angle on the tank body.

I made an example:

Asmodean hi, thanks for the example, but I can't open it, it says that was made with a future version of Construct 3?

Thanks a lot for the help, this is great.

Later when I open editor.construct.net, will it open the latest stable for me? or it was just upgraded to Beta?

If you don't change it in the preferences and use editor.construct.net (without any /rxxx) it should be the stable r157.

I made some changes and I make the tank follow the mouse, but when I release the button the turret goes back to original position, any idea why?

It points to 0,0 (top, left corner) of the layout. That happens if you use touch.x touch.y without a condition. So, if there is no touch event the x and y values will be 0. I think this happens because auf event 6. You disabled the condition but not the action. So every tick the turret rotate to touch.xy and this ist 0,0 if you don't touch the display or click the mouse.
