A_FaceTarget

A_FaceTarget [(float angle)]

Changes the calling actor's angle to face its current target.

If angle is specified, then the calling actor cannot turn by more than said angle. (A value of 0 is interpreted as unlimited angle.) However, the SHADOW flag has no effect in such case. (New from 2.5.0)

Examples

Almost every monster uses this function before it shoots at its target.

Missile:
  TROO EF 8 A_FaceTarget
  TROO G 6 A_TroopAttack  // See DoomImpBall
  goto See

This lost soul will home in on its target by calling A_FaceTarget repeatedly.
