aligning one object with another

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/aligning one object with another

i have a turret on top of a car, how to i align another object with the direction it is facing to make it seem like it's coming out of the turret?

i've got this

RotateEntity (b\Model,0,EntityYaw#(turret),0,true)

it doesn't really work - if i spin the car, the turret spins, but the bullets don't follow the turret.

i'm on a flat plane, i just need the bullets to just align with the turrets direction on the flat horizontal plane.

I guess you're not parenting the bulletes to the turret, then?

Try using EntityYaw(turret,1) in the RotateEntity command, instead.

that worked, thanks!

if the bullets are children of the turret, they will move after being shot, when the turret turns.

Yeah, I was meaning you could un-parent the bullet from the turret once it has been fired.
