Trying to make a sword orbit around player following the cursor

I have a slightly working system after following a youtube tutorial on a gun orbiting the player but the sword is not facing the cursor when you move it as it is always at a offset angle which is different each time I open with a different cursor position, I am a very beginner programmer and was following GDquest’s survivor tutorial but I want to make a demon slayer game instead of having a gun.

Any help would be apricated,
Thanks,

Can you try to do this instead:

look_at(get_global_mouse_position())

Is your sword PNG facing to the right? The math for angles assumes facing the right is 0° or “forward” in 2D

[dyckhoffseb]

that has the same issue but definetly simplified my code a lot

[dyckhoffseb]

yes

Yeah you probably need a offset by 90-degree. rotate the sprite or the tip by 90

thanks that works perfectly
