this would help recreate games like sonic I don't think you can do scripting for homing attacks yet

I don't understand how this would work and I'm pretty sure there are workarounds.

also there should be a way of when the ground starts to point downhill/uphill/anydirection sprite you're sprite will follow that direction not left right but up down

Or how about:

point in direction ([direction v] of [ground v])

Then if you want it to move in the normal (perpendicular to the angle of the surface), turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise (if moving right) or clockwise (if moving left).

really how?

when i receive [fire missile v]
 show
 forever
  if <(distance to [player/enemy v])<(50)>
   point towards [player/enemy v]
   move (10) steps
  else
   repeat (pick random (1) to (5))
    move (5) steps
   end
   point in direction (pick random (-360) to (360)
  end
 end

but what if you want use multiple sprites not clones(badniks and the flying ones)
how would that work as in to point to nearest

There, now you have a good point… (I don't know really…)

 show
 forever
  if <(distance to nearest sprite of sprite group [ enemy v]::sensing) < [50]>
   point towards nearest sprite of sprite group[enemy v]::motion
   move (10) steps
  else
   repeat (pick random (1) to (5))
    move (5) steps
   end
   point in direction (pick random (-360) to (360)

thats why we need sprite groups

  if <(distance to nearest sprite of sprite group [ enemy v]::sensing) < [50]>
   point towards nearest sprite of sprite group[enemy v]::motion
   move (10) steps

   repeat (pick random (1) to (5))
    move (5) steps
   end
   point in direction (pick random (-360) to (360)

Groups would be awesome, for the “touching or or or or or…” but for pointing to closest of group… that can be worked around, and in my opinion is obsolete like the bounce on edge block.
