Question

I’m working on a game with top down movement and I’d like to know how to hat something to rotate in the direction the joystick is being pushed.

You can get the angle of a vector (such as your input direction) with .angle() and apply that to your rotation

var input_dir: Vector2 = Input.get_vector("left", "right", "up", "down")
rotation = input_dir.angle()

Ok but how do I get the player to rotate towards the angle of the vector?

4

Is there anything in particular that’s confusing? rotation is a property of Node2Ds, which changes the rotation of the object and it’s children.

5

Oh so I just change the rotation to be equivalent to the angle of the vector.

Worked like a charm!

Sorry i dont know much but you can use if Input.is_action_just_pressed(“Left_or_right_or_stuff”)

It works for joysticks too or maybe that’s not what you wanted?
