Hi All,

I am trying to work out directional controls for objects in a 3d world. I have just moved over from GameMaker Studio 1.4 and they have directions from 0 to 360.

Here is what I am using to control a ship. Right click on screen and turn towards that point...



When trying to work directional control in AGk, it seems that direction is 0 to 180 to -180 to 0.

Is this correct?

Thank you for your replies.

Hi Nick,

Per the Atan2 command help page you are correct. In the physics/ragdoll demo created by stabinthedarksoftware there is a nice wrapangle function. I use that.

You may also want to check out his character controller. I believe a lot of people here utilize that.
