Hello,

Been awhile since I used C2. I forgot and cant seem to find how to detect mouse.x if it is growing or decreasing so I can pass some left and right vars. Simple I am sure, but cant figure it out and I am on a tight deadline. So,.. need some help.

check if mouse.x is greater than variableX

if greater, then set direction to right, else left.

set variableX to mouse.x

That is how I had it, but I am only able to detect if mouse.X is greater or less if I delay the varX. Otherwise it will never be greater or less it will be the same.

Ahh. Stupid me. I had the varX set in everytick and not the if statement itself.
