Im trying to figure out how to get my enemy to rotate the shortest way to the player. However with the pan angles constrianed to 0>180/0>-180, the flip from 180 to -180 is giving me no end of trouble.

Is there a good way of dealing with this in a simple manner?

Cheers

i gues it is not 180 and -180 it is 0 and 360?

You can use the ang()-function.
Just have a look at this thread.

Thank you very much FenrisWolf

Your code works perfectly. Also if I change the order of entities in the vec_diff line, my enemies run away from me. Awesomeness!
