hello, im having a bit of trouble.
im creating a Fighter plane and part of the fighter plane is that it has a radar that can lock targets, so i went ahead and created a script (will come sceperately because too large) that displays the targets. now as a way of locking those targets i want to have a cursor that i can steer over the target i want to lock, and eventualy lock it (but first the cursor steering part)

# 

-- CONFIG
local ownSeat = script.Seat.Value
local dotTemplate = script.Blip_template -- your blip UI element
local radarRange = 15000 -- studs covered by radar
local radarFrame = script.Parent
local radarCenter = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.9)

-- DATA
local targets = {}

-- Collects targets in workspace
local function updateTargets()
    targets = {}
    for _, seat in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
        if (seat:IsA("VehicleSeat") or seat:IsA("Seat")) and seat.Position.Y > 75 then
            table.insert(targets, seat)
        end
    end
end```
# 
local function updateRadarDots()
    -- Clear previous dots
    for _, child in ipairs(radarFrame:GetChildren()) do
        if child.Name == "Contact" then
            child:Destroy()
        end
    end

    -- Update ownship position & heading
    local ownPos = ownSeat.Position
    local ownHeading = ownSeat.Orientation.Y

    for _, target in ipairs(targets) do
        local relative = target.Position - ownPos

        -- Rotate by own heading (heading-up)
        local headingRad = math.rad(ownHeading)
        local relX = relative.X
        local relZ = relative.Z

        local rotatedX = relX * math.cos(headingRad) - relZ * math.sin(headingRad)
        local rotatedY = relX * math.sin(headingRad) + relZ * math.cos(headingRad)

        -- ✅ Scale and flip Y correctly so forward = up
        local scaledX = radarCenter.X + (rotatedX / radarRange) * 0.5
        local scaledY = radarCenter.Y + (rotatedY / radarRange) * 0.5

        if scaledX >= 0 and scaledX <= 1 and scaledY >= 0 and scaledY <= 1 then
            local dot = dotTemplate:Clone()
            dot.Name = "Contact"
            dot.Position = UDim2.new(scaledX, 0, scaledY, 0)
            dot.Parent = radarFrame
            dot.Visible = true
        end
    end
end

-- Update every frame
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    updateTargets()
    updateRadarDots()
end)

#

this is only part one of the script

#

i dont know how i need to go about part 2
