Align to a point

I have a freshly created cube and want to turn it around it's Y axis such that it is pointing at a particular point on the X/Z plane (say 0,-5).

AlignToVector makes the cube point at the correct place but achieves this by rotating around the x axis - not what I want.

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this? Basically I want to TurnEntity e,0,n,0 until it is correctly aligned - I don't want to use PointEntity because it needs a pivot and is a 'snap' command.

TIA

Can't you define which axis should be used with AlignToVector ?

Not in that way - I want to align the cube's Z axis to the point but that can be achieved by rotating it in X or Y in the example above but AlignToVector seems to choose X. This is what I have...

AlignToVector cube,vx,0,vz,3,0.01

(Align the Z axis (3) to vx,0,vz at a 'rate' of 0.01.)

This might (might) help:

At least the math should carry over and it works on the Y axis.

L8r,

try writing this line just after the AlignToVector() command:

RotateEntity cube,0,EntityYaw(cube),0

is it Ok ?
