getdir to an object or target

[crawl55 10]

how do i get the direction to a specific object, target, or marker? is this possible. Basically I want to run a script that tells the AI to face the direction of the object or marker...not so much a target because I want it to be a building.

One version:

_ai = _this select 0;
_posAi = getpos _ai;
_posTrg = getpos (_this select 1);
_ai setdir (((_posTrg select 0) - (_posAi select 0)) atan2 ((_posTrg select 1) - (_posAi select 1)));

nul = [nameOfAI,nameOfTargetUnit] execvm "scriptabove.sqf"

Thanks, that works great. I do have another question. Is it possible to have AI lase a building? That is my end goal and my know how seems to be running out!!!

In case anyone else wanted to know how to lase a building with AI, you can create a vehicle out of the lasertargetE and use a trigger or a script and it will work the same as AI lasing the building!!!
