Hey everyone. I'm very new to rigging and have noticed that some basic knowledge would really help a scene I'm working on. For instance laying out a path for a bus to follow. Small things like that.

Here is an example I was looking for some help with.

I need help setting up a target object that this gun will point at constantly. I'd appreciate a few words of advice.

Thanks.
