I hope this is the right forum. mods please move it if it is the wrong forum.
In a shortfilm i'm making I'm having a spaceship being chased by a bunch of other spaceships which will be shooting at it.
I might do the whole thing manually, but it's going to be pretty long, so I was thinking of trying to script the chasers
One way I thought of doing this was:
I though perhaps I could make their target the ship they were chasing and then use cruise control to regulate their speed, but I was wondering if there's any way to make an object move in the direction it is pointing so they would just keep following it.
another thing that I thought i could do was use follower and somehow get a script so that whenever the ship they were chasing was in front of the emitter it would fire. is there any way to add variations to follower?
thanks.
