Hello, today's burning question is sort of along the lines of what's mentioned in the "Last Known Pursuit" article here on TDC. In it, the article mentions storing the last known X and Y position of the player in an enemy's alt variables, but doesn't say just how that enemy should use those to move to that specific point (coding-wise).
What I have now is a small invisible active picture that positions itself according to these 2 values, and then the enemy is set to always look towards that invisible box. But, I'd really like it if I could just have the enemy follow its 2 internal alt X, Y values instead and not have to rely on my crap method.
I've tried looking in the direction events in MMF1.5 and couldn't find anything that said "look in the direction of an X,Y position", only "look in the direction of (another object)". Any suggestions?

Use the direction calculator extension. The angle calculator also can do it, plus any other degree'd movement.
