In the game i am building i want to have sidewinder "like" missiles. i want to achieve an effect like in attack of the clones when the hailfire droids are shooting their missiles at the clones. does anyone have any ideas of how i should go about doing this or at least point me in a direction to learn more?

the reason i mentioned bezier curves is that the missiles in ATOC were more than just heat seeking, they were showing. They twisted and turned much more then they needed too (thats how i remember it at least)

I agree with Anonymous. Simulate the guidance system. Here is a classic article with nifty java demos shows all kinds of steering behaviors. The chase behavior looks like it would work nicely for you.
