Hi all.

I have an issue I've been trying to solve, but haven't much success. Before I messed with my code a bit, I had a hostile ship that would turn towards the player, and fly towards them. However fidgety it was, it, for the most part, worked.

One attempt at refactoring later, and I've taken a minor step back, returning to the unstopping spinning-top once more. It only turns clockwise, which will be an issue when the player is only a short left turn away, as the ship appears to love right turns.

func _on_EnemyTemplate_turning():
    is_turning = true

func _on_EnemyTemplate_moving():
    thruster_active = true
    $Thrusters/Engine.emitting = true

Now I find myself at a minor impasse. Most of the game is finished, and the movement of the hostile ships is crucial for gameplay. Any suggestions on how to get the ROTATE and MOVE states working again?
