Windows My bullet sprite is diagonal, I would like to rotate it so that it lines up with direction of shot.

So I have made a sprite that is diagonal (view attached file) so every time I shoot, the bullet is rotated slightly to the left. How can I code it so that the tip of my bullet faces the way I am shooting?

A direction of 0 is to the right.
Your sprite is directed to 45 degrees,
so you should do image_angle - 45 to make it perfectly align with image_angle.

Ok so that works when shooting to the right but when I shoot left, the bullet travels backwards. Wherever I shoot now my bullet is facing right while I want it to face the way I am shooting

Nvm Fixed it using image_angle = point_direction(x , y, mouse_x, mouse_y)-45;
