This is my attempt that should have turned my_unit to face force_ent. It has no effect at all. Code: vec_set(tempVector, force_ent.x); vec_sub(tempVector, my_unit.x); vec_to_angle(my_unit.pan, tempVector); I have tried several other ways but vec_to_angle returns extreme results. Help please!

Make sure you do not reset the angle somewhere else. Last edited by Superku; 06/25/10 14:15.
