-				Rotates the node so that the local forward axis (-Z, [constant Vector3.FORWARD]) points toward the [param target] position. If the [param use_model_front] options is specified, then the model is oriented in reverse, towards the model front axis (+Z, [constant Vector3.MODEL_FRONT]), which is more useful for orienting 3D models.
+				Rotates the node so that the local forward axis (-Z, [constant Vector3.FORWARD]) points toward the [param target] position.
 				The local up axis (+Y) points as close to the [param up] vector as possible while staying perpendicular to the local forward axis. The resulting transform is orthogonal, and the scale is preserved. Non-uniform scaling may not work correctly.
 				The [param target] position cannot be the same as the node's position, the [param up] vector cannot be zero, and the direction from the node's position to the [param target] vector cannot be parallel to the [param up] vector.
 				Operations take place in global space, which means that the node must be in the scene tree.
