Target effector

Given a group of clones, the target effector simply tells them to all “point your Z-axis toward 'this'”. As you move the look-at location around, all of the clones follow along. It is very much like the old target tag for a single object. The difference is that the target effector works on all of the cloned objects at once and they can all look at the same point. Like other effectors you can use falloff to control how the effector is applied to your clones or objects. Below is a simple animation that shows how using a simple target effector can lead to some complex animations with very little effort.
