GML How to make objects rotate

[michelle6639]

Is there any way on GMS2 to make a wand or such rotate? One side stay in one place and the other side changing position to follow the mouse? If i;m not making any sense, it is like the hands of a clock.

So far i have used the code
image_angle = point_direction(x, y, mouse_x, mouse_y);
but the top end is pointing a little off from where the courser is (about 115-140 degrees, just guessing).

Your original sprite needs to be pointing to the right (0 degrees) in order to line up correctly with point_direction. You also want to set the origin to the point in the sprite that shouldn't move, ie, the leftmost point of the sprite.

Thank you so much! It's working now.
