This is the math to find the direction a sprite goes depending on the angle. xx=cos(angle*pi()/180) yy=sin(angle*pi()/180) What I need to know is how to find the angle depending on the direction(the complete opposite). I'v tried flipping the formula around with no luck. Can anybody help?

You can get angle with the following formula. angle=ATAN(yy,xx)

In my previous post, the angle is given in radian. If you want to get angle in degree, you can transform it with the following methods. degree=180*radian/PI() or degree=DEG(radian)

Thanks.

As Hanzo said, you can find the angle (in degrees) with DEG(ATAN(y,x)). However, be mindful that values range from -180 to 180 degrees. In case you want the values to range from 0 to 360 degrees, you can easily set a conditional like this... STICK OUT X,Y ANG=DEG(ATAN(Y,X)) IF ANG<0 THEN INC ANG,360 ENDIF
