shooter with mouse aim?
Ive started seeing some scenes that use mouse control (the scripting- it seems to be really helpful if you know how to use it) and I was wondering if there was a way to aim something, like a gun, where the mouse is pointing. Is this possible? If so, then how would I do something like this? It would also be helpful to know how to spawn objects in the simulation, however Im sure something like that would be somewhere around here to find out.
Any ideas how this would work? Im not very experienced with thyme.
My Favorite Scene I made: Ragdoll Masters Phun Version

Ian Games Is a collection of Games on Phun I've created. I recently created the idea to include them in "Ian Games" however, The name has existed from my imagination since I was younger, even before Phun.

Me neither. Good idea, though. Your best bet is an answer from grady.

Re: shooter with mouse aim?
Code:
App.GUI.mousePos
Already on it.
Noob-friendly, unless you're being an idiot or a jerk.
You have a question? I probably have an answer. PM me!
You need some cool scripting for your scene? I can help with that too.

Re: shooter with mouse aim?

App.mousePos
Is the correct code 
I don't remember if you can, but I think you can bind a key to do something on mouse click (meaning you could create a button to create liquid or something ), but I don't remember (I think you can bind scrolling, so....)

Well, whatever it is, I couldn't find the key (well, it is a mouse click, not a key anyway).

Re: shooter with mouse aim?
I've been thinking about how to make a shape point at the mouse. I bet I could do it if it's possible to assign a pointer value to the angle of a shape. Like how you can assign stuff in a shapes script menu (except angle and position aren't in the menu). I bet it's doable but I'm not sure how.
It's hard to remember to live before you die.

Re: shooter with mouse aim?
You know, you would have to do some math there, like finding the angle between two points.

It was moved to the Phun scripting section, since it is about thyme.
