Hello all.
Different post, different problem.
Can somebody out there who is better than me at math share how to determine an object's bearing? What I mean by this is object2 at 90 degrees 100 degrees or 180 degrees from object1?
I'm looking for a simple equation, if it exists.
thanks!

It's actually fairly simple ...



That will give you:
a bearing of 0 for 100,100 looking at 100,0
a bearing of -45 for 100,100 looking at 0,0
a bearing of +45 for 100,100 looking at 200,0

If you need a slightly different system of bearings, you can switch the subtractions around (maybe to match sprite rotation etc).
