Sin and Cos always messes me up! I tried following the tutorial guide, but didn't quite get it. Need to print it out and try again.

In the meantime, can someone tell me how to magically transform those four values into an angle?

meX = 125
meY = 17
targetX = 60
targetY = 89

Angle# = ATan2(TargetY-meY,TargetX-MeX)

EDIT:

Alos....ATanFull can be used but it depends on if you want 0 degrees to be straight upwards on the screen or to the right as per AGK's and general maths.

Thanks! ATanFull worked beautifully. I didn't have to think at all
