Guided Missle-point at and fly towards moving obj?

[Tuna]

I'm trying to launch a missile that will point at and move towards a moving object.

I can't manage to pull it off.

I'd like to set the clickteam movement object put gravity on the target, then have gravity affect my missile which would of course be pulled in at an increasing speed. That part I think I can do.

I'm not sure how to get that missile to aim (point) at the target. is there a way to set the angle towards the target?

Thanks!

Do you mean to instantly point at a target, or rotate around a certain amount at a time to face it?

To do the latter, what you need is the advanced direction object, and there is an expression that will do that. You simply give it the current angle, the end angle, and the rate to rotate at.

otherwise, for a direct pointing, no-nonsense type of missle - make it a ball movement object, then some event that says like:

Every 0'10"(one tenth of a second) --> (missile) look in direction of (target object)

that should give the effect of it heading immediately to the target, with no chance of heading anywhere else.

Chaos, thanks... that may work and I'll try it.

LazyCoder: I was thinking that at first, when the missile is launched it would start out going str8 then curve towards the target... but realistically, it might not be a large enough play area anyway... but can you get the angle from the target to set the end angle? the target will be moving, always.

Thanks both of you for offering your help!

Chaos, shouldn't the condition be "always"? I find that the "every" condition creates lag for some reason. Other than that, there is nothing else to comment on, everything will work so you don't need to heed my words.
