Platformer shooter help!

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
Xd =_root._xmouse-_x; //Get _x distance from gun to mouse
Yd =_root._ymouse-_y; //Get _y distance from gun to mouse
radAngle = Math.atan2(Yd, Xd); //Use atan2 to calculate the angle from gun to mouse
_rotation = int((radAngle*360 / (2*Math.PI))+90); //Use PI to calculate and set gun rotation
updateAfterEvent();
}

I put that on my duded gun/hand MC and it woks, but its like backwards and glitchy, how do I fix it?

And also, how do I make it so it can only aim on one side and not make a full circle.

Thanks

Maybe you should go read up on the basics of AS before trying something complicated...
Or maybe you could find someone to code your game for you if you just want to be lazy.

.........I already have the game made....I just want to add this in.....

u may need to make Yd negative, or add 180 degrees, or subtract randAngle from 180 degrees, without seeing what you got its hard to be sure which 1.

Basically you just need to adjust the angle based on what angle is appearing, show us what is happening to it and we might be able to help you out. Also, for limiting it, it's as easy as checking if the angle is within the range, and only updating the movieclip rotation when it is.

That's a code you just took from an AS2 tutorial. I know what your problem is, but even a new person to programming would understand it.

Write your own code. We don't want to spend our time helping you with your copied and pasted code. Learn it, right your own. If you learn it then you'll know how to fix it. Yes - this is one hell of a long link.

ok, heres a pic.

red=registration point
yellow= the area I want the gun/hand to be able to aim at

how can I do that?
