Moving actor forwards relative to the actor

RocketBrain

looked for a tutorial/demo for this and an explanation couldnt find it. (probably just blind)

any suggestions?

basically i have an actor that is following another actor. i can get the rotation, i can get it to move directly at the actor. but i would like the actor to move in the direction it is pointed rather than just sliding.

RocketBrain

yes?

RocketBrain

its probably something simple i'm overlooking, but its driving me nuts.

Try clarifying the question.

You have Actor A and Actor B.
You want Actor B to follow Actor A.
However, you do not want Actor B to move to Actor A, but to move in the same direction?

And who is sliding? Is that an animation issue or a directional movement issue?

RocketBrain

Theres actully two different things i need that i cant figure out

Actor A is target
Actor B is follower

First i'd like for B to rotate towards A and then move, not slide while rotating. (like a tank on treads)

Second i'd like for B to rotate towards A while moving in the direction the "treads" are pointed, which would create a kind of arc effect.

kinda found a cheat, using timers to guesstimate movements, tracking and such. probably highly inefficient
