I read my oriented is obsolte - and it dosn't work any more.
But it must be replaced by something - by what?

by setting pan or tilt != 0

if you want to have it 0 set it to 0.001...

thanks Scorpion, one follow up question though;

that means I have to type in the real pan or tilt value? Although it's done in WED?

from the manual:

Quote:

For orienting the entity in a certain direction or towards a certain point in space, use the vec_to_angle function.

so,

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
}
