Does anyone know a good way of having an object (like a turret) track another and adjust its frames accordingly. Like right now I have it working but its a really long and annoying way. Its just: if(PlayerX > (EnemyX - 50) && PlayerX < (EnemyX + 50)) Enemy = SetFrame(4); And so on and it gets really long when you do it for 16 frames. Is there a better way of doing this? Thanx, ViPeR

Asign a angle range to each frame (i.e the range of angles that a frame can be used for), and use cos and sin look-up tables to calculate the relative angle of the player, and then search for the appropiate frame.
