12.2 Billboard

Component: Billboard

This component causes an object to turn to face another object automatically. If no Target is provided, the object will find a target. If ’Instant’ is false, it will turn over time. Can be used with ’TargetingComputer’ (useful for laser beams, billboard sprites, creepy eyes etc)

Targeting Sensor causes this object to target what ever the sensor sees. Set this as a Message Receiver on the Targeting Sensor component
