Aligning the Object With the Mouse
To align an object with the mouse we use a simple piece of code:
/sets x of object to x of mouse
x = mouse_x
/sets y of object to y of mouse
y = mouse_y
You can also add to the end of these statements to expand on them, for example:
Y = mouse_y + 10
/sets x of object to x of mouse
x = mouse_x
/sets y of object to y of mouse
y = mouse_y
You can also add to the end of these statements to expand on them, for example:
Y = mouse_y + 10
