Post subject:  Just a Couple Questions
I'm making a homing missile based off of TLB's homing missile code but I don't know how to get it to go after an AEmitter called "targetx" can someone help me out?

Also I'm trying to make an actor have a dash function instead of a jet pack so when you sharp-aim and dash then you go in that direction. I don't want him to teleport I just want him to fly in the direction he is aiming for like 2 sec. I made a ini version but he got smashed into walls and it sucked. I know trig but can someone tell me how(or make code) to make him dash?

This is for the missile:

Code:
function Update(self)

   if not(MovableMan:IsParticle(self.target)) then
    for emitter in MovableMan.Particles do
     if particle.ClassName == "AEmitter" and particle.PresetName == "targetx" then
        self.target = emitter;
     end
    end
   elseif MovableMan:IsParticle(self.target) then
        self.RotAngle = SceneMan:ShortestDistance(self.Pos,emitter.Pos,SceneMan.SceneWrapsX).AbsRadAngle;
        self:EnableEmission(true);
   end

end


Includes finding the emitter, setting it to "self.target", orientating itself to point towards self.target, and enabling its emission (assuming the missile is an emitter).
