I'm making a top down shooter and I wanted the player image to face the cross hair. The problem is I have no idea how to get an angle with two points. Can someone please help?

Use this math:

Code: Select all

	local x2, y2 = position
	local x1, y1 = position
       local ang = math.atan2(y2 - y1, x2 - x1) * 180 / math.pi
We need lua syntaxing code boxes!
