getting 1 object to follow another

[Dubieman]

Hey,

For my Dday mission, i want the machine guns to fire sorta at the higgens and I have a way to do it by using my invisible target addon.

However the boats are moving and the targets are set at 13 height cause of the ocean.

What can I do to make these targets move from place to place so the MGs aren't super accurate and make it seem like bullets are popping around you?

 
thanks

Use a wee loop with random numbers to setpos the target around its central position.

Hmm, you gave me an idea.

I think I was using setpos without a getpos before, that might be it...

I just was wonderin if I could use a Game logic and  join the target to it and use the "teleporting" WPs that GLs use to make the target move?

thanks

You don't need GLs, just setPos the target.

I posted an example of attaching a target to an object, and randomly resetting the invisible target's position near the object.

Here's the post:

It should work similarly for you.

I to hate the superhuman AI drilling me every time!

Looks good, kinda what I was gonna do with the setpos thing. Thanks.
