Player Direction moving to the direction of dropping object

Like in Era, your player's direction moves to the direction of the object that is to be dropped. How would I do this? I've tried these:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if(DragItem.y < player.y)player.dir = 0;

    if(DragItem.x < player.x)player.dir = 1;

    if(DragItem.y > player.y)player.dir = 2;

    if(DragItem.x > player.x)player.dir = 3;

PHP Code:


		
			
player.getdir(DragItem.x,DragItem.y);

PHP Code:


		
			
getdir(DragItem.x,DragItem.y);

It'd be nice if there was a function like player.dir.pointdirection(obj);

there is getdir, it works on dx and dy.

PHP Code:


		
			
dx = dragitem.x - player.x;
dy = dragitem.y - player.y;
player.dir = getdir(dx,dy);

if the player is pointing the opposite way, reverse the dragitem and player, can't remember which way it's supposed to go and I'm about to go to bed :P

I tried:

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.dx = DragItem.x - player.x;

temp.dy = DragItem.y - player.y;

player.dir = getdir(temp.dx, temp.dy);

It only works when the DragItem is far away from the player.

EDIT: SOLVED!!!

PHP Code:

temp.sx = screenx(player.x,player.y); temp.sy = screeny(player.x,player.y); temp.dx = DragItem.x - temp.sx; temp.dy = DragItem.y - temp.sy; player.dir = getdir(temp.dx, temp.dy);

This fixed it.

Try this;

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.dx = worldx(DragItem.x,0) - player.x;
temp.dy = worldy(0,DragItem.y) - player.y;
player.dir = getdir(temp.dx, temp.dy);

If the player is dragging it, couldn't you simply use mousex/y?

no, he's wanting to change the players direction depending on where the mouse is

Good idea. Depends on if it is detecting the position of the item when clicking (like some item systems make the item icon center at mousex and mousey, and some don't).

Exactly.
Instead of worrying about using a GUI position and translating it to level coordinates, simply use mousex/y.
