Would this be helpful? http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Making … _the_Mouse
Just change it from the mouse to a sprite.

Re: Heat Seeking effect
Oh you can always just have the missile sprite have "Point towards (x of) (y of)" of whatever object you want the missile to be guided towards, and then have it move forward spaces. For a missile graphic, you should draw it like this:
_____________________
| || \
|__________________||_/
Since the direction 90 is the default. That way, your missile will be actually aiming towards the stuff instead of flying sideways

A more complex way would have an array of positions to go to that way it would follow the path of the sprite, rather than just point to where it is on the screen
I think that's a little too complicated, especially if someone just wants to make a small game for a class or something in 15-30 minutes

Yea I know, I was just suggesting another way. After posting that I started making one and it's almost finished
