hii everyone.

i got this problem now, i have got an actor(Rocket) and i got another object which i want the rocket to hit.

the object might come from any direction so the rocket must move and hit it at certain time, i have managed to solve the moving part using moveTo and constrain global attributes. But my problem now is how to rotate the rocket in such a way that it will point to the object and fly towards it?.

thanks.

    You can make it 'move to' Object2.x & Object2.y

    Then constrain an attribute. (I can't say witch one on the top of my head.)

    Ill check now.

    i do not think it is as simple as that, there must be some sort of 2d maths involved

    Hi awssassin, luckily maths can be avoided here: use the Rotate to Position Behaviour, putting the x and y coordinates of the actor you're rotating to, in it.

    :-)

    Edit: you beat me to it!

    No I haven't .

    I forgot to rotate.

    ---Edit---

    Ok I sort of done it. But Im not sure how to do it properly. Maybe Gyroscope can say what I done wrong.

    What, yourself, or the actor? ;-) (It's alright, I'm the only one who thinks I'm funny!) Seriously, glad it's sorted for you.

    That's neat! Make the red block an animated dog and that could be a winner! :-)
