  • So if Object_1 is at a 90 degree angle, I want to create Object_2 50 pixels away in the direction that Object_1 is facing.

    Sorry if there's a simple answer but math and angles aren't something I know a lot about.

    Thanks for any help

  • Nevermind I found a solution from a post I made years ago and forgot about.

    In case someone else stumbles on this and wants to know here's the solution:

    Give Object_1 the Sine behavior.

    When you create the Object_2, set the coordinates to:

    X: Object_1.X+cos(Object_1.Angle)*(Object_1.Sine.Value+50)

    Y: Object_1.Y+sin(Object_1.Angle)*(Object_1.Sine.Value+50)

    That's it. If you want to change the distance just change the number after Sine.Value

    Hope this helps someone!

  • Why do you need Sine behavior?

    Another (easier) solution is to create Object2 at Object1 position, and then move it 50px at Object1.angle (using the action "Move at angle")
