How to rotate a nodes in the direction of a specific vector

Troubleshooting General Help
#1

Hi monkeys,

I faced a mathematical problem in my project that doesn’t sound too complicated at first but I’m not able to solve it for some days now.

I have one vector and a node with its own “direction vector” (own implementation). Now I want to rotate the node with the result that its direction vector equals the given vector.
lookAt() did not do the job for me, because it just rotates a node to a another node by a given upvector, which does not suit my problem.

I’m looking forward for your hints.

Bests,
Plumpy

You may have to provide more detail. Like, exactly why lookAt( myPos.add( targetDir ), Vector3f.UNIT_Y ) won’t work for you.
