Question

I have a game and I have some magic abilities. For this I want the abilities to come out a sword/wand but I need to first make the sword. I can easily create the image for the sword, maybe the collisions, but the thing I don’t know how to do is a cursor sword follow feature. Think about the pickaxe in terraria. It’s exactly like that.

Check out this part of the docs, I think you’ll find what you’re looking for in regards to aiming/rotating like Terraria

Thanks man but do you mind showing a example. I can’t figure out how to make it so it stays in a circle and the only thing that gets affected is the rotation from the mouse movement

For sure! Here is a tutorial relating to a Terraria-like: https://youtu.be/drt5wUr3AWY?si=OyPO5FBbpoH1eCcK

Basically, make a new scene with an Area2D node. Attach your sword sprite, collision shape, and animationplayer. I believe this person also uses a timer for timing the “hit” effect. Then refer to the code in the docs and you should have enough pieces between all this to build what you need!
