Infinite rotation_degrees using look_at function

Question

Hi, i am making a game in which you use a gun that looks at the mouse. it follows the mouse nicely, but i need to get the exact rotation of the gun to calculate the knock back and the value exceeds 360 and goes on as i rotate it.

here's the code:

    look_at(get_global_mouse_position())
    if get_global_mouse_position().x > global_position.x:
        sprite.flip_v = false
    if get_global_mouse_position().x < global_position.x:
        sprite.flip_v = true

Answer 1

You can wrap the gun's rotation within a defined range via the fmod method. You probably want something like this:

var wrapped_rotation = fmod(rotation_degrees, 360))

Thanks, i have already solved it using

rotation = rotation%360

or something like that
