Question by JamesPost · Sep 05, 2013 at 10:42 AM · lookatcamera-lookgui-buttonlookattarget

Point FPC camera at object after repositioning.

Hi,

Within my project I'm using the standard FPController and have built a GUI such that I can click on a button and jump my character to a new position within my world. What I'm struggling with is I then need the camera to point at a specific object the instant my character 'lands' in the new position. I don't want the camera to then continue pointing at the object - simply to continue navigating around the world as before.

My script currently is this:

 var originalWidth = 1024.0;  // define here the original resolution
 var originalHeight = 768.0; // you used to create the GUI contents
 
 var BUTTEXT : Texture;
   
 private var scale: Vector3;
 
 var GUI1 : GameObject;
 
 var PLAYER : GameObject;
 
 var TAR : Transform;
 
 
 
 function OnGUI(){
     scale.x = Screen.width/originalWidth; // calculate hor scale
     scale.y = Screen.height/originalHeight; // calculate vert scale
     scale.z = 1;
     var svMat = GUI.matrix; // save current matrix
     // substitute matrix - only scale is altered from standard
     GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS(Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity, scale);
     // draw your GUI controls here:
     
     GUI.depth = 0;
         
     if (GUI.Button(Rect(656.5,204.5,256,213),BUTTEXT,"")){
     
         Do();   
     
     
     //...
     // restore matrix before returning
     GUI.matrix = svMat; // restore matrix
     
 }
 }
 
 
 function Do()
 {
         audio.Play();
         yield WaitForSeconds (0.5);
         GUI1.SetActiveRecursively(false);
 
         
         PLAYER.transform.position = TAR.transform.position;
             
         
             }

Got a bit of scaleable GUI action going on in there but essentially when I click the GUI, the function Do() kills the GUI and moves the FPC to the new position. I'm thinking the Transform.LookAt function is the way to go but i'm not sure where/how to configure it.

Any direction/assistance would be great.

Thanks, James.
