You can use Browser Events to do that!

You gotta use the browser events extension combined with Sprite utils. Browser events is in the default list, sprite utils is:

jwunderl/arcade-sprite-util

Then, you should have your player sprite working already. Now, create a crosshair sprite to follow the mouse cursor’s position. Add this chunk of code:

This makes it so the crosshair follows the cursor, accounting for how much the camera scrolls (i did not figure this out myself i took it from @WoofWoof )

Now, to make shooting, add a “on left mouse button pressed” block, and create the bullet from there. You can follow this example:

The “velocity at angle” block is why we need Sprite Utils.

Here’s the project containing my example code:

Yeah thats a browser events bug, it kinda just happens…

no, it’s an update bug. The left click block updates before the on mouse move does and that’s the problem.
