Allowing the turret head to follow mouse

[Spitfire179]

If i get this to work i can continue


The code

Turing:

var variable, Turret, Turretbase, x, y : int var left, middle, right, button, Color : int buttonchoose ("multibutton") setscreen ("graphics:800,400,nobuttonbar") Turret := Pic.FileNew ("Turret.bmp") Turretbase := Pic.FileNew ("Turret Base.bmp") %----------------------------------% %---Draw The Turret And Its Base---% %----------------------------------% loop     Pic.Draw (Turret, -40, -82, picMerge)     Pic.Draw (Turretbase, 0, 0, picUnderMerge)     mousewhere (x, y, button)     left := button mod 10     middle := (button - left) mod 100     right := button - middle - left     %-----------------------------%     %-------Turret Shooting-------%     %-----------------------------%     if left = 1 then         Draw.ThickLine (203, 136, x, y, 11, brightred)         delay (500)         cls     end if end loop

Is there anyway to have the turret pivot and rotate from its base and follow the location of the mouse to have shots go from the turret barrel to the mouse location?

Mod Edit: Remember to use syntax tags!

Look at the Perfect Following tutorial. It is slightly different, but will explain picture rotation and stuff. By the way, it involves trigonometry.
