How to make a sprite look at the direction of the mouse

[Chpsterz 0]

Hey guys

so I am creating a game with PixiJS and I need help with trying to make the sprite look in the direction of the mouse pointer. Can someone help me?

Calculate the angle between mouse and the object and then set that to your objects rotation.:
 

const mouse = renderer.plugin.interaction.mouse;
const dx = mouse.x - object.x;
const dy = mouse.y - object.y;
object.rotation = Math.atan2( dy, dx);

Written from memory without testing so not 100% sure everything is correct. But that's the basic idea. Also depending on what your objects "forward" direction is, you might need to add an offset to atan2 result.
