Hello Devs,
I am trying to make a spaceship that flies its way to a target position using LinearVelocity and AlignOrientation.
Currently, the ship can fly toward any given point. However, I want the ships to roll facing the target, and then pitch toward it, effectively turning itself toward the target.
My intention can be seen in a fighter jet’s flight. It turns its top toward the target, then changes its pitch to align itself with the target.
That is the goal I’m trying to achieve. I want my spaceship to:
- turn its top face (or bottom face, whichever is closest) toward the target
- rotate up or down on the pitch axis until it is in line with the target.
My current code uses CFrame:Lookat(ship's position, target's position) in order for the ship’s alignorientation to turn toward the target. However, this obviously means that it would be facing up to look at the object, and mostly move on the x and z planes.
If someone could give any ideas on how I can do this, it would be greatly appreciated.
