Tracking Missile Won't Hit Ship

I have a missile. When I press a button, a missile is launched. The missile then proceeds to hit a ship. The ship is moving to the right. The missile misses the ship to it's left, sorta like the earth/cannon-ball model. How do I get a missile to hit a ship every single time?

    I have a similar problem - sometimes my lasers just bounce off their targets! Or the collision triggers an explosion, destroys the missile but leaves the target intact.

    Intact and ANGRY....

    Any help?

    QS :)

    Can you post your code?

    It's pretty simple. All I do is constrain the position of a ship to two real attributes, and have a missile accelerate towards that location.

    Try the "move to" command instead, or in combination. I do not think you can control the exact center location with accelerate towards since it is figuring out the arc (unless you make it very slow).

    Another thing...
    maybe you can subtract some number from ships position X. So the missile will move farther to left. (or + to the right)
    ex: Accelerate Towards Position: game.EnemyPositionX -20

    Not sure if this is what you mean ;)
