Making a turret face a target

[duke605]

Hello,

 

The title says it all but if you need more information please ask and me VERY specific of what you want to see because i never know people want when they just say, let me see your source code, you have to tell me what part of the source you want to see

[OvermindDL1]

All of the source is generally best.

 

But for note, facing is very *VERY* basic vector math.  You really should learn it.

UGH! why'd you have to say that!!!!..... I'm so going to fail math 1500... I just know it....

 

And well i don't really have any source code right now because i just made it spin in a circle.... but i'll explain the thaought process

 

Okay, so in the entityturret class there is 2 variables, faceX and faceY, then in the renderturret class it takes those variables and sends them to the modelturret class to a method call "swivel" that's all i got right now

Learn radians, sine and cosine, how to convert vectors into angles, and that basic stuff.

Do you learn this is Pre-Calc/Algebra II? I'm taking both this year.

I learned it back in junior high, that was well *well* over a decade ago, so I do not remember the exact class, but it is very easy stuff (just wait until you get to Limits), as well as plenty of documentation on the Internet. 

 

I 'think' it was Trig class though.

So this year for me. YAY!

 

(If me celebrating learning arcane math seems strange, you should see what else I like to do. )

[OvermindDL1]

Arcane? 

 

Trig is just a reduced form of Calculus, basic stuff; wait until you get to Calculus, and certainly not arcane, they are very recent developments, all things considered.

Yeah, arcane was a bad word. I do that all the time...

How about:

Yeah, I'm three grades ahead in math compared to most people in 9th grade.
