Hey, I've been trying to find a way to make an arrow on the player's screen point in the direction of someone/something they're looking for. A game I play has an example of this: https://i.imgur.com/THHjhwM.png

Does anyone know how to do this? Appreciate it.

Hey, you could mess around with Kidpaddle Compass Library, its really easy to work it and with a few tweaks and changes you can do what you want to.

There's a couple of ways to do it. Depends on how accurate you want the arrow to be. A simple pointer would just consider x/y variables but a more accurate (and costly one) would be to use trig functions.
