ok… say i have my character which has to go to a specific point. now i want an arrow to be in front of the character and point straight at this point so that the player knows in which direction to go. How do i accomplish this?
I tried making an arrow, parenting it to the character and making a ‘track-to’ logic brick (tracking to an empty) but this doesnt work. it works at the begining and when the character just moves forwards and backwards, but as soon as the character turns the whole tracking is messed up. it doesn’t point to the empty anymore and when the character turns the arrow starts spinning like crazy. is there any way how i can solve this?
thanks a lot

BTW you will soon see my the first part of very first game posted here. it is a kind of a puzzle game.
I assume you parented the arrow directly to the armature.
Then you get the strange things when you turn.
Try this.
Parent your whole armature to an empty, then use this empty to put the ‘move’ actuators (forces) on (so you rotate and move the empty when the character turns,moves).
Parent the arrow to this empty, and it should work, just as you describe with the track-to sensor.
