I'm taking a look as we speak, hold on...

Okay, change the scan range to 1000 instead of 50 (I changed it to 50 for debugging... oops), and then change the target's scale to 0.1, not 10.1.

i had it at 10 so i`d see if it appeared lol, but hooray it works, just one other thing (aint there always lol) if there is more than one enemy in the level the targeting sprite appears over both enemy vessels, is it possible to just have it appear over one and then when it`s destroyed it`ll look for a new target? and thank you for all your help mate, it is truely appreciated

I'm working on that right now.

The problem was that the c_scan function was detecting the star dome, which was jacking everything up. I'm going to upload the fixed WDL file and send you the link in a PM.
