This function points an entity at another entity.

Syntax

• void Point(Entity* entity, int axis = 2, float rate = 1.0, float roll = 0.0)

Parameters

• entity: the target entity to point towards.
• axis: the entity's axis to orient. This may be 0, 1, or 2, for the X, Y, and Z axes, respectively.
• rate: a multiplier to indicate how quickly the entity should orient itself.
• roll: the rotation around the specified axis.

Example

using namespace Leadwerks;

App::App() : window(NULL), context(NULL), world(NULL), camera(NULL) {}

App::~App() { delete world; delete window; }
