Godot 4.X Tower Defense Tutorial - Part 08 (Turret Rotation)
54Hey everyone, hope you're doing GREAT!
In this tutorial, we'll get those turrets rotating and targetting the enemies, in readiness to begin firing at them. It's a confusing subject to be honest, that continues to confuse me too! I hope it makes sense to you, so please let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Hoping you're enjoying the series enough to throw a like down, and maybe a subscribe if you're new to the channel. Source code (version 4.2) is available via the link below.
As I mentioned, I'm in Rome for a week, so the next tutorial will be over a week away. But I will work on this for you folks so you've got something to look forward to ;-)
Have fun!
