Rotation-wise the laser needs to be flipped so you could try inverting the rotation i.e. return -rotationAmount;

For a better understanding of how the laser reacts to different positions, try clicking on points all the way around the emitter ("tank") - not just horizontal and diagonals - and also different distances from it.

Holy moly that worked, I never would of thought to do that, what is your reasoning behind inverting the rotation?

I noticed that when the target was above, it was vertical, but when you went to the top-right, it leaned left. Also, when you weren't perfectly above (you were slightly to the right), it leaned slightly to the left.

Glad it worked and that I could be of some help :)

You have a keen eye Sir, thank you for pointing it out!

If you'd have clicking all around it in a circle, you may have noticed yourself that the rotation was going in the opposite direction. I wasn't sure which is why I asked you to try that clicking in a circle thing  ;)

I'm glad to help but please don't call me Sir  ;D
