Stop tracking object from orbiting target?

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

Trying to make the player constantly face another object in the scene by using “Track To”.
Pressing “A/D” should make the player strafe along the Y Axis, but instead the player orbits around the object in a large circle, which screws up orientation.

Any ideas?
Thank you! :]

EDIT: Made a quick file, to show you what I mean.

track to goes wonkey upside down, I use

obj.alignAxisToVect(obj.getVectTo(target1)[1],axis,1)
obj.alignAxisToVect(obj.getVectTo(target2)[1],axis2,1)

Sorry about that…
turns out all I need to do was uncheck “local” on the motion actuator.

Terrible mistake
