# orient(to:offset:)

Creates a constraint that forces a node to rotate to face another node.

## Declaration

```swift
class func orient(to node: SKNode, offset radians: SKRange) -> Self
```

## Parameters

- `node`: The node that should be used to orient the node that this constraint is attached to.
- `radians`: An offset that is added to the doc://com.apple.spritekit/documentation/SpriteKit/SKNode/zRotation value after it is calculated.

## Return Value

Return Value A new constraint.

## Discussion

Discussion Each time when constraints are applied, a new angle is calculated so that a line projected at this angle would point at the other node’s origin. This angle is added to the values specified in the radians property to create a new range. Finally, the node’s zRotation value is clamped to fit inside this range.
