I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to get the rotateentityvalue if I want to rotae an entity in the direction of an object. I don't want to use pointentity to get this is there any other way to do this?

You can use DeltaPitch/DeltaYaw and rotate the entity accordingly.

You can simply use the pointentity command in B3d:

PointEntity entity,target{,roll#}

OK stupid and sleepless here (aka ME) didn't read the whole question... still you could use pointentity and then EntityDistance and EntityYaw and EntityRoll... I mean it does kind of work.

He clearly said he didn't want pointentity.

DeltaPitch and DeltaYaw return the difference in angle. Add or subtract these multiplied by a tiny number like 0.01 to smoothly rotate to face.
