Hi. I’m trying to figure out how to calculate angle between 2 points. “Object 1” and “Object 2” are inside the widget, and are randomly in different coordinates… Here’s a picture that shows what I’m trying to calculate (it’s the angle of the red line: [widget]

It’s this: [image] is there a way to have a direction aware hover effect? UI Sure, I’ve overridden onMouseMove in a user widget: [image] Which gives you -180<=>180: You should be able to derive what you need from here. Add 180 to Atan2 to get 0-360 if th…

Remember Pythagoras?.. :slight_smile:

Well I have never heard of him… I also tried this (I looked at one instruction that used vectors), but this doesn’t work. [NotWorking] I want to make the blue object turn in that direction wherever the “Object 2” is. above, below, left, or right. Currently, the “blue” object is turning direction…

Uh i do not see any angle in your pictures, not sure which one you want calculate. Yes using dot product > Acos is good idea. However you need to draw those two vectors that make your angle, also yes never forget to normalise them dot product works on normalized vectors. PS. there is look at nod…

You can use the formula ATan((object 1 Y - object 2 Y)/(object 1 X - object 2 X)) + 180 if result is negative.
