Make actor aim vertical
In this example, the actor will find the closest LIZTROOP actor within 2048 units and calculate the vertical angle it needs to aim at. This code is an example of how to use the zshoot command to create friendly bots and other similar effects. The following does not contain the gamevar definitions, which must be placed outside of the actor code.

getactor[THISACTOR].z TEMP2
subvar TEMP2 8192 // Offset the Z. Assumes the center of the actor is the same as the player
getactor[ACTOR2].z TEMP3
