How to make the Character stay where he is facing?
I know this question was asked thousands of times. I've searched and used a lot of codes to make the character face where he is moving. It's originally in C++ code so I convert it into JS code (I'm not used to C++). I found this code here by Kanox and I think it is almost perfect.
Here's the code I'm currently using:
var moveSpeed : float = 8.0;
var rotationSpeed : float = 10.0;
private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
private var previousLocation : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
function Update() {
var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent.<CharacterController>();
if (controller.isGrounded)
{
moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
previousLocation = transform.position;
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
{
moveDirection.z = 1;
}
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
{
moveDirection.z = -1;
}
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
{
moveDirection.x = -1;
}
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
{
moveDirection.x = 1;
}
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, transform.position + moveDirection.normalized, Time.fixedDeltaTime * moveSpeed);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp (transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(transform.position - previousLocation), Time.fixedDeltaTime * rotationSpeed);
}
The problem here is the character resets where he is facing. I hope you fix/answer my problem.
