I'd like to be able to point an object at the camera, then use ezrotate to add an offset to the angle. It would be equivalent to

+ Code Snippet

rotate object 1,0,180,0
fix object pivot 1
point object 1,camera position x(),camera position y(),camera position z()

Except I'd like to be able to change the rotation that "fix object pivot" is set to during runtime.

Thanks,
coolgames

Try this:

+ Code Snippet

OffsetAngleX# = 0
OffsetAngleY# = 45
OffsetAngleZ# = 0

`Setup EZrotate:
EZro_SetEuler Object Angle X(1), Object Angle Y(1), Object Angle Z(1)
EZro_SetPos Object Position X(1), Object Position Y(1), Object Position Z(1)

`Rotate to Camera Position:
EZro_RotateTo 2, Camera Position X(), Camera Position Y(), Camera Position Z(), 180

`Remove Offset
EZro_GZ -OffsetAngleZ#
EZro_GY -OffsetAngleY#
EZro_GX -OffsetAngleX#

`Apply to Object
EZro_FindEuler()
Rotate Object 1, EZro_GetEulerX(), EZro_GetEulerY(), EZro_GetEulerZ()

a.k.a WOLF!
