FACING CORRECT DIRECTION
« on: May 29, 2008, 10:50:01 am »

 ::)I have created a goldfish in point editor and he swims well - the problem is how do I get him to face in the direction in which he is travelling..   If for example he was swimming in a circle there should never be a time when he is swimming backwards to complete the circle.   His body should always be following his nose.  Can anyone help me please.   Doug

Yes, in the properties window for the goldfish in scene mode, there are three boxes for pitch, roll, and yaw.  Set these all to 0 and click the radio button for "Relative to path".
