Hi,
I've been trying to work this out by myself for a good hour or so and I'm just not getting anywhere with it and I don't know what I'm going wrong.... so I'm asking for help instead!
I am trying to make a spell that makes a "Drone" fly around and attack enemies, however I want it to only attack while the enemy is in front of them and they fly like a plane would. So they go forwards then have to turn back to attack again etc etc etc.
My problem is that I can't get them to go towards the target, oddly they mostly end up going the complete opposite direction to the target. I've tried just using angles, then Sine, it's just not working at all. Does anyone have any ideas?
P.S. The trigger is still very much a WIP
