Alright, I have spent all day trying to get this and I just cannot figure it out. First of all, I do not know how to calculate the angle from one point to another (I have looked in the tutorial and searched it online - it confuses me) and then I don’t know how to adjust the movement of the moving object so that it moves relative the new angle. I am about to cry. Please, please, please; do not refer me to any other threads or say "this has been widely covered…\*\*\*_ing newb" I did a thread search and looked through a TON of threads on it and I still don’t get it. There was one thread where somone had my exact problem, but then somone explained it in a way I didn’t understand and he just said he got it fixed. Leaving me cluless. If there is a very very very easy to understand way to put it, please let me know. Maybe lay down some sample script. I’m lost and I just can’t wrap my head around trig.:_(
