I am trying to use the VAngleD() macro from "math.inc" to work. I want to
use it to make an object face a point, sort of like you can make the camera
face a certain point. However, I can't get it to do what I want to. An
example of how to use VAngleD() or another way to make an object turn toward
a point would be great.
Thanks,
Fingolfin.

You can look for information about the
Reorient_Trans() macro in the documentation:

Tor, thanks for the help. I saw the Point_At_Trans macro by the one you
suggested, and that one seems to be working great.
Thanks,
Fingolfin
