Or.. you could always jerry rig it. If you make a big DOME shaped active object, make it invis. And then have the aimer outside the dome. If the aimer colides with the dome, it stops. And when player presses down, it adds to Y cord by 1. So it may slide down the dome, just make sure its very smooth. It sounds very unstable, but you could kinda work with the idea.

LOL! are you all stupid and always do it the hard way!? just put the hotspot of the crosshair 50(distance between crosshair and the char.) pixels to the left then go out of the picture editor and hit the rotate button. now you should have 32 directions of the object. then make the crosshair have racecar movement with NO speed. Now make an always event that sets the position of the crosshair to the same position as the char. ...NOW, YOU, ARE, DONE!X)

That's clever until you realize you've only got 32 directions to work with - with the Maths object you can aim far more accurately.

Yea Dan, that's not a very good way to do it. Maths is the way to go. You can have 360 angles and more if you then times that to get 3600, then even more! So basically you can have unlimted angles with maths. Click products alone - 32. I hope MMF 2 has more though  .

Even though you can get that many angles with math, can you even shoot an object that many angles in TGF?
I agree with Daniel's way, only cause its simple and works with TGF without the Cos and Sin. (Dunno bout math object) The math would be well worth it if you had mmf, and it served its purpose better in its situation. Some situations, just dont need that many angles. I dunno, probly need more info before deciding wich is more effective and worth it.

Could someone please post an example of this? I've tried to do it like SAnTA says, but I can't get it to move, only stay static.
