Hey everyone,
Does anybody know of an extension or a formula to have my player look at a certain x,y. Not selecting it, but using values. Eg.

Player.dir = ConvertXY_DIR(altval a, alt val b)

So to make the player look at an x,y pos but have that pos as a value not using MMF's selctor thing. I think i've seen it in an extension before but i looked around last night and couldn't find it. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know about any extensions, but you could easily emulate this by setting an object to those coordinates then having the player icon look at it.

Sorry if that won't help- I don't understand half your post about the selectors and stuff. =/

Why's there a star next to the Sig? What if I don't want a sig? This sucks.

Um ok..... You know the action "Look in the direction of"? I want to be able to do that, but use values and not select by clicking where i want the player to look.

Angle Calculator has 360 degree look at formulas, and can convert that into a direction for you as well.

The angle calculator doesn't have a formula to make the player rotate to an X,Y i don't think. I looked around, in the expressions and actions. I'm trying your formula tho Daniel.
