If so this could be done in two ways using a formula that changes the angle of the mouse and make the character rotate much smoother, or use the "look in direction of.." action under direction. n/a

Yeah, you replied while I was still replying, I didn't realize helping someone was a competition, chill. Besides, that article has more useful information he can learn from than just handing the one thing to him. EDIT: What happens if he's not using MMF2 Build 248+? I'm not speaking from expirience, but does TGF2 or any of the other ones have the ATan2 function? EDIT Part 2 - The Editing: Originally Posted by Jon C-B or use the "look in direction of.." action under direction. In order to do this correctly, he'll need a separate active, one thats position has it's X and Y set to XMouse and YMouse respectively, then have the rotating active look in the direction of the active stuck on the mouse.
