Is there anyway to rotate an image to face the mouse cursor?

And help would be appreciated

Images are 2D, they will only every have an X and a Y co-ordinate, they arent 3D so cant be rotated like you are desribing.

You can however imitate a rotating image by shrinking it sideways and skewing it a little, but I think the easiest way to get what you are after would be to texture your image to an object and rotate the object.



Something like that, then you would rotate the object to match your camera orientation in whatever way you need

If it ain't broke.... DONT FIX IT !!!
