Move entity towards player (pan+tilt)

Move entity towards player (pan+tilt) - 02/09/15 06:57

I would like to move an object towards the player. The following works to adjust the pan of the object so that it moves in the player's direction:

Code:

vec_to_angle(my.pan,vec_diff(NULL,player.x,my.x));
c_move(me, vector(5 * time_step,0,0), nullvector, 0);

However, I can't quite seem to adjust the tilt so that the object also tilts towards the player as it moves forward. Any suggestions?

Hi,
those code lines should move the entity towards the player. Any surrounding entity blocking the up and down movement? Missing IGNORE_PASSABLE or so?

Hi, thanks for the hint. I found the problem was because I was modifying the entity's position after immediately creating it but applying vec_to_angle(...) too soon before the entity had been moved.
