Play with atan(x,y). In the message window, say:
put atan(10,10) --or any other two integers
You should see that the number you get is the number of radians of
the angle between someplace, and someplace plus x,y pixels away.
Those two places could be the loc of your sprite, and the mouseloc.
For example, try this:
on exitframe
put atan(the mouseh-320,the mousev-240)
go the frame
end
Move the mouse around the screen, and you'll see the number changing.
You could change the radians number to a scale of 1 to 8 (to then
decide which of your cast members to draw), by playing with the
number you get:
on exitframe
theangle = atan(the mouseh-320,the mousev-240)
put 8-(integer((theangle+pi)/pi * 4) mod 8)
go the frame
end
I'm not going to explain the numbers I've used, but just try it, it
may do everything you need.
