That is hard to say without more information (2D? Top-Bottom?).
Solution 1
You rotate your Actor to the direction of the touch, after the rotation just use self.rotate as direction.
Solution 2
You just use the actor position and the touch position to calculate the angle and use this as direction (relative to screen).
uhh, that's the first thing in gamesalad i don't understand :O look i give you more info it's 2 d, and i'm in the bottom of the screen and enemies are coming to get you from the top.
and you have to touch the screen to shoot them
Okay, than use Solution 2.
you're using solution 2 to calculate the angle of he bullet based on your position and the position of the bad guy/or where you tap. so the formula "vectortoangle(tapX-selfX, tapY-selfY) gives you the angle at which you can spawn/shoot at
sooo RULE/If all of the following are happening | touch is down (i suppose) |do:
i don't really get the thing
i use the windows version so i don't really get that i suppose it's MAC you are using
