I have a promblem with this .I know how to rotate my player but I don't know how to rotate the enemy. I don't know if I am doing it right but for the racing i use path. And I want to change the rotation of the enemy car. I am using also third person camera.

Hi!
Ok, do you want your enemy car to face forward on the path?
If you want the car to face the next point in the path, this may be difficult. but you could try:

direction=point_direction(path_get_x(path_positionprevious),path_get_y(path_positionprevious),path_get_x(path_position),path_get_y(path_position));

This will set the direction to forward on the path.
also I believe this is a 2D question.

thx but doesn't work.

To rotate it in the moving direction, use this transformation:

d3d_transform_set_rotation_z(direction)

If you're using other transformations as well, use add instead of set

what do you mean? Because I am using this transformation for my character

[Buff-Robotix]

use d3d_transform_add_rotation_z(direction)

[Gamebastard]

make sure after you do the rotations and draw the model make sure you write d3d_transform_set_identity. This makes it only sets the rotation to models before this point. exactly like this:

d3d_transform_add_translation(0-x,0-y,0-z);
d3d_transform_add_rotation_z(direction);
d3d_transform_add_translation(x,y,z);

d3d_model_draw(myModel,x,y,z,-1);

d3d_transform_set_identity();

that should work fine.

I 100% agree with u this is rite way for me
