I created a turret witch should always be turning to the direction of an object that always looks in the mouse pointer object. The problem is that when i move the cursor over the "zero point" it turns 360° in reverse direction when it should only go over the "zero point". Hard to explain, easy to see:

its because when it hits 0, your "compare two values" goes from being greater to lesser (or vice versa), and since theres two different events that handle these, it starts turning the other way... Im sure youre well aware of it, but Im to tired to think right now, sorry
Couldnt you use the advance direction object? Im sure theres an event there for rotating against a target.

Scrap the last two lines and add this:

+ Always
-> Set Angle of Flak Cannon to: Angle( "flak cannon visPart" )+Max(Min((((ATan2(Y( "flak cannon visPart" )-YMouse, XMouse-X( "flak cannon visPart" ))-Angle( "flak cannon visPart" )+540) mod 360)-180), 1), -1*1)


This formula and others can be found here: http://www.sketchy.co.nf
