    Constrain self.Rotation to vectorToAngle(self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X,self.Motion.Linear Velocity.Y)

    Copy/Paste wont work so don't try and copy this into GS.

    Make sure your image faces right but don't worry too much as you can add a -90 at the end of the code outside the brackets if you have already made the image.

    That will be fine :) pop in the code and let me know if you have any problems.

    I'm sure its because your image isn't facing right (Ducks head is on right ,tail on left)....rotate it in your art package then pop it back into GS.

    The code will rotate to the way it's moving so it doesn't matter how you have your tilt set up it should still work.
