Here's what I have at the moment: Set rotation to ... ATan((Y("Active" )-YMouse)/(X( "Active" )-XMouse)) (rotate an object to "always look at the mouse") //

Although, I don't like to use extensions as a crutch if there's a way to code something manually, so I'm curious to know what's wrong with my formula. I also tried converting it from radians to degrees (/180*pi) but it didn't help. //

Remember that your formula only works correctly on the first quadrant of the coordinate system. Atan always returns a value between -90 and +90. Edit: Oh right, you should also stuff a 1.0 in everywhere, otherwise the division works with integers. Edited by the Author.* This space is for rent
