== Usage ==
Attach to a slot, and then specify fields. Sometimes the fields like rotation offset and around axis may not adjust orientation as desired. In most cases, simply adding a slot beside the object that should look at another object (EX a piston that is already oriented to look at its target at rest) and then parenting it will achieve the desired effect.
