is there a way to make one entity pan towards another entity?

yes,find direction vector from target entity to looking entity (vec_sub their positions)

then use vec_to_angle to convert that vector to angle. use the pan of resulting angle.

Code:

function turn_towards_target()
{
  // get the direction from the entity MY to the entity YOU
  vec_set(temp,your.x); 
  vec_sub(temp,my.x);
  vec_to_angle(my.pan,temp); // now MY looks at YOU
}

from manual..again..
