I am creating a car park game, so their are a number of cars that face in different directions. If I put

1	`setRotation(90);`

into the actor code it makes every one of that actor face in that direction. But i will want the particular actor to face in multiple directions. I have been using

1	`addObject(new` `Tree(),2,23);` `//Adds a Tree to the world at the particular co-ordinate`

within the world coding, is their any way I can alter this so each object faces a particular direction.

YES. Checkout the turnTowards method in Actor (you must have Greenfoot 2.2)

 public void turnTowards(int x,
                        int y) Turn this actor to face towards a certain location. 
 
Parameters:x - The x-coordinate of the cell to turn towardsy - The y-coordinate of the cell to turn towards

Could you give me an example of how I could use this

private Object obj1 = new Object(); // the object you want your actor to turn towards
 
public void turnToObject() {
    turnTowards(obj1.getX(), obj2.getY()); 
}

Simple solution but not tested.
