Rotating sprite 90 degrees at a time.

My issue is rather simple (i think):

I am trying to make a system where when the player presses right arrow, the sprite rotates 90 degrees clockwise and stops (rotating), and the same for left arrow and counter-clockwise. For some reason my brain locks up trying to solve this action. So basically, the sprite would have only 4 angles, up, down, left, right. I can easily get it to work with "set angle", but it doesn't really look or feel nice, it needs to have a seamless rotation and thats the issue.. I guess this is laughably simple and easy to do task, but i'm kind of stuck

Any wizards still here?

Something like this? It's very simple, but could be the start of something.

change rotate 1 degree to 3 or 6 for faster turns. It will switch directions if the current "direction" is closer in the other direction.

Thanks for replying!

Unfortunately i can't open the file since i don't have C2 (yet, but i will some day), i'm still toying around with Classic.

May i ask if you could paste the code here, it would still be very helpful?

I didn't even see this post was in classic, sorry.

I'm not sure if it will help or not:

The sprite has an instance variable named "Direction" that is set instead of angle, and angle is slowly rotated to the sprites "Direction" variable.

"Text" is just a text box showing the current direction.

Thanks!

Although i didn't manage to use that code directly, since classic seems to be missing that "rotate towards sprite.direction" expression, but i was able to come up with a rough workaround, but atleast now it works like i was hoping.
