    How do I turn a particle (mesh or texture) towards the direction of travel (velocity)? I can't seem to find a block to doing this. For example. if I have a missile, I want it point towards the direction it s going. Any ideas?

    Thank you so much!! Man, this thing gets me every time, never would have guess it would be in this block but I think I have to start looking at these blocks in a different way, it does say orient after all :oops: . I am still getting used to these graph stuff. Thanks again!

    No problem! It can be a little confusing at the beginning and even after using the graph for a while, still trying to wrap my head around a lot of things. Good luck with your project :)
