Rotate an entity to face another entity

More or less what the title says. The Camera object has a built in "RotateTo" function, but I can't find anything for general entity use, and I'm not sure how to go about using the matrices route.

EDIT: What I mean by this is how to rotate an object to face another object in code.

I guess it's my fault for not clarifying, I meant how to achieve this rotation in code.

CharMover_TurnToEntity() seems to be capable of making a character face an entity. It might be possible to trick the game into thinking your entity is character. I dont know if this function requires any additional helper files, as I have never used it before.

Looking through the hpc_api, it does seem like there might be a couple ways to trick the CharMover_TurnToEntity function (or perhaps more useful to this particular application, the CharMover_TurnInstantlyToEntity function) into using non-character entities, but this does seem like an odd absence for the API to have. I'll have to give it a test when I get a second at some point.
