Forgive my dimwittedness, angles and rotations will forever be my downfall.

How do I set an object to the exact orientation of a camera, much as the set object to camera orientation command.

I've tried:

phy set rigid body rotation bullets(bullet_counter).objectid, camera angle x(), camera angle y(), camera angle z()

...but the angle seems a little off when the camera's at certain angles.

I'm sure there's a simple answer :/

I think that you are watching the offset produced by the diference of the positions betwen the camera and the bullets.

The code you are using would only work right when the bullets are straight in front of the camera. (The angles formed intersect the camera only in this position) So you need to set the bullets to an angle that is relative both to the position of the bullets and the position of the camera (NOT RELATIVE TO THE ANGLE OF THE CAMERA) since this way the angles are always perpendicular to the bullets and always intersect the camera.

You must find the angle using atanfull or a dummy object and then update acordingly.

Seems a bit more logical. I'll give it a try later today and report back.

Thankyou for your response

Superb. Worked a treat

Resultantly I now understand the whole angle thing a fair amount more.

Thanks a million!
