Hi, everyone

I’ve been using Kubold’s animset and now i need to get player’s movement start direction from gamepad. I’ve tried Atan2 function but it’s assymetrical and i can’t get it to be from -180 to +180. Maybe there’s an easier way?

Atan2 (Degrees) will give you coordinates from 180 to -179.

Yes, but i need the 0 to be on 12 o’clock and not 3. Maybe i’m missing something and there’s an easy way to convert?

just swap the inputs to Atan2, using MoveRight as A, and MoveUp as B.
