Question

I’m trying to make it so then the head of my character will face the mouse at all times, can someone help me?

func _ready() -> void:
	$Head.rotation = get_global_mouse_position().direction_to($Head.rotation)

This is what I have so far but I’m not sure how to do soemthing like this.

you want the angle from the head to the mouse position

func _ready() -> void:
    $Head.rotation = $Head.global_position.angle_to(get_global_mouse_position())

Or simplify this by using look_at

func _ready() -> void:
    $Head.look_at(get_global_mouse_position())

Under _ready this will only happen once, at the very start of the game, so it’s not particularly useful with _ready, maybe you mean to use _process?

Thank you for helping me out.
