    Unhappy E2 Vector works perfectly, but Vector Thruster can't follow GPS.

    I've been messing around with vectoring lately, and it's easy to make an E2 chip follow a GPS etc...
    But when I change the E2 with a vector thruster it fly's in every direction.
    Ofcourse that would make sense, since it apply's force locally, and not based on rotation right?

    But then how can an E2 chip automatically rotate to its target?
    If I want that vector to work, then it should probaly not rotate.
    Is there any way I can fix this? I hope soneone can :O
    Greetings, VorteX

    applyOffsetForce() applies a turning force in a given direction. As for its usage, I'm afraid I can't help u there. I suck at vectors

    But if I'm not mistaken,

    Code:
    applyOffsetForce(Vec1,Vec2)
    
    The first vector (Vec1) defines where the force is applied. The second (Vec2) tells the direction it will go in. Sorry if Im wrong.

    You could have three vector thrusters which would then apply a torque to your object to make it face at what it needs to. To make it move to a GPS, add the appropriate vector to each of them.

    That sounds confusing, I know. I suck at explaining things.

    Don't worry, I already fixed the problem.
    My vector thruster wasn't set at world x y z
