angle_difference(ang1, ang2)
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| ang1 | The first angle to use. |
| ang2 | The second angle to use. |
Returns: Real
This function will return the smallest angle difference between
two angles as a value between -180 and 180 degrees (where a
positive angle is anti-clockwise and a negative angle
clockwise).
var pd = point_direction(x, y, mouse_x,
mouse_y);
var dd = angle_difference(image_angle, pd);
image_angle -= min(abs(dd), 10) * sign(dd);
The above code will get the angle of direction from the instance to the mouse cursor, then get the difference between that angle and the current image_angle, using this value to slowly rotate towards the mouse.
