okay, okay, okay.. i know.. i'm askin too many questions. but be glad I figured out most my problem before I posted em! there just happens to be a few that I can't seem to figure out.

I'm trying to make an NPC face a chracter when he/she talks to it. how the heck do I do it? i can't use turn(dir, deg) cuz i don't want to turn him(i do, but not degress wise in a certain direction). if you know an easy way to do this, lemme know. thank you all kindly.

Check out the get_dir() proc for figuring out the direction you need. Then just set the mob's dir variable to the direction you need.
