Forcing an actor to "face" another via ACS?

Post by Ravick »

Hi there,

I'd like to make an actor "face" anotehr one(s) via ACS. I mean, It'd be just like DECORATE's "A_FaceTarget", but not restricted to actor's target; I'd like to force an actor to face any TID'ed actor as I wish. How could I do that?

Thanks in advance! :)

You can use SetActorAngle.
First, calculate the angle between actor A and B from positions. I think it is atan2(B.Y - A.Y , B.X - A.X). Convert that to fixed angle (check Definitions.
