game.physics.arcade.moveToPointer. How can I get moveFromPointer functionality

[CalmNearEnd]

Hi,

 

I'm using game.physics.arcade.moveToPointer to make a bullet fly where I click:

 

game.physics.arcade.moveToPointer(bullet, bulletSpeed);

 

 

But I want my character to recoil and fly backwards when he shoots.

I'm trying it like so:

 

angleToPointer = game.physics.arcade.angleBetween(player, game.input);

 

game.physics.arcade.velocityFromAngle(angleToPointer -180, 300, player.body.velocity);

 

But it's not working. Any help?

 

Thanks

The main issue is that angleBetween returns the angle in radians (I guess this method should really be called rotationBetween for consistency) but velocityFromAngle expects the value in degrees.

 

Here's a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/lewster32/5vkru16m/

Thank you! That fixed it.
