smoothly turn toward [ ▾ ] up to ( ) degrees at a time
Does an action. Snap it below another block.
Vehicles and Combat
Tanks and cars: aim with smooth turning, use image points (barrel tip, turret mount) and attach one part to another.
Cloning the chassis also clones the turret and barrel attached to it, with their code ("when I start as a clone"). For robot tanks, combine with the Robot and sensors extension: the motors move the chassis and the turret follows. Mark points in the paint editor ("Image points" tool, P key). E.g. on the chassis a point "turret"; on the barrel a point "tip". On the turret use "attach my position to point turret of Chassis and turn along: no" and, inside a "forever", "smoothly turn toward mouse pointer". Attaching is applied at drawing time, with no lag.
To use it: in the editor, click "Extensions" (bottom corner) and add "Vehicles and Combat".
