Righto, So I'm trying to make a "Homing missile" attack, which in this case is a golden beardfist. The problem is that it just does not work.

Now then, my logic may be worse than a mules ass (Not talking about its parents). So this is where I come to ask you guys for some help.

Basically, I'm trying to simulate a homing effect on this (Non mui) missile so that it slowly turns to face what it is hitting, while it is flying. I cannot use "Make unit face X over Y" for several different reasons, and unless you could allow it to loop around the unit and hit it several times, I'm afraid it wont do...

ANYWAY, ONWARDS WITH THE TRIGGERS!

Facing angle returns values from 0 to 360.
Angle between points returns values from -180 to 180
You can get angle difference with
  • (Acos((Cos(((Angle from p1 to p2) - (Facing of u1)))))) Greater than x

Your TempReal[0] conditions are a bit off.

Note that if a unit is ordered to face angle x, it will not face it accurately in the end.

For example if a unit is ordered to face an angle of 100, it might have facing of 99.46 after it stops turning. This could lead the unit to wiggle from left to right when it seems to face the unit, but I'm not sure. If this happens, you need to add tolerance to the angle difference.
