Reset direction origin after movement.

[ChrisC]

im trying to program a car steering. So I need the angle of the wheels to lock relative to the car object. I cant figure out how to tell it to be angle in relation to the object and not the room. I tried this at first.

image_angle = point_direction(x,y,mouse_x,mouse_y);


if (image_angle > 45) && (image_angle <180){ image_angle=45;}
if (image_angle > 180)&& (image_angle <315) {image_angle=315;}

and then movement would be toward mouse

if keyboard_check(ord('W')){
motion_set(image_angle,VanSpeed)

but once i stop the angles still only go from 45 to 315 so i can only travel right.

i need the wheel to pull the car object and then wheel 45 to 315 will be in relation to the car body.

Why don't you just rotate your wheel sprite 90 degrees clockwise and keep angle between 45 and 135 through this code?

if image_angle >= 270 || image_angle <= 45
    image_angle = 45;
else if image_angle >= 135
    image_angle = 135;
