I'm trying to have the gun on a turret turn to face and shoot at

the player. Unfortunately, I found there is no "point limb"

command to make this easier. I know there is a way to find the

angle an object should be rotated to to face another object but I

do not know this method. If anyone could explain it to me I would

be very grateful.

heres an example of a limb pointing toward another object i made a while ago.

+ Code Snippet


autocam off
position camera 0,20,-20

make matrix 1,100,20,20,20

make object cube 1,5
make mesh from object 1,1
add limb 1,1,1
offset limb 1,1,0,5,0

hide limb 1,1
make object box 4,4,8,3
color object 4,rgb(0,200,0)

glue object to limb 4,1,1

make object sphere 2,3
yrotate object 2,40

delete mesh 1

y#=object position y(2)

do

point camera object position x(2),5,object position z(2)
point object 4,object position x(2),y#,object position z(2)

if upkey() then move object 2,0.01
if leftkey() then yrotate object 2,object angle y(2)-1
if rightkey() then yrotate object 2,object angle y(2)+1
if spacekey() then inc y#,0.01 : position object 2,object position x(2),y#,object position z(2)

loop
