Why don't you read help files.
Its all there.

POINT OBJECT

This command will point the specified 3D object towards a point in 3D space.

Try this

My code does exactly that.
It gets object 1 position and assigns same values to object 10.

If you want to rotate it, then there are commands for that also.
You should read help.

Gees... it doesnt do that. Look:

point object 1,x,y,z `will point object 1 in position x,y,z

point object 10, OBJECT POSITION X(1), OBJECT POSITION Y(1), OBJECT POSITION Z(1) `will point object 10 in position of object 1 not in position x,y,z.

Additionaly, i cannot type
point object 10,x,y,z because i cannot get the co-ords.. in my code, object 1 is rotated by xrotate object and yrotate object.


PS.

I solved it by rotating object 10 by same angles and x's+y's as object 1

Cheers!

That doesn't make sense. If you don't know the coordinates of what you're looking at, you can't find the angle between it and two separated points. If you want both angles to be the same then just use the same angle.

If I understand you correctly, you want to match the angle of object 10 with the angle of object 1? If so, you can just use the rotate object command, and set it to the angle like so:



I hope that's what you're looking for, best of luck!
