I am trying to understand how to point the rocket's tip at the ball, the following code is from the Blitz3D directory, if you paste a copy of the following code in the following path & execute it you will see the rocket & moving ball:

Program Files\Blitz3D\Samples\Blitz 3D samples\Paul Gerfen tutorial files

by pushing the down arrow one of the rocket's sides points to the ball - how can I make the tip of the rocket point at the moving ball?




I found the following example of pivot code and suspect I may need some of the logic regarding using a pivot, although I'm not sure what yet?

looks like it points along the Z axis, if you can edit the axis, make the rocket mesh align on the Z axis

@mtnhome3d, thankyou for the tip, I'll open the rocket up within UU3D & re-align the tip along the z-axis.
