Question by Eggplanet · Sep 30, 2013 at 02:02 AM · walking

Enemy Model Floating in the Air

Hello there, I have been bashing my brains out on this problem for quite some time now and still cant figure out what I am doing wrong.

What I am trying to do is this: enemy model rotates to face the player and then proceeds to walk towards the player.

The issue that I have is this, when the enemy walks up to the player it ends up floating in the air.

I am attaching a video of what I am seeing in Unity and the code I am using for enemy AI script.

Video: http://youtu.be/XVzgkocnRZk

Code: using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

 public class EnemyAI : MonoBehaviour {
     public Transform target;
     public int moveSpeed;
     public int rotationSpeed;
     public float maxDistance;
     
     public Transform myTransform;
     
     void Awake(){
         myTransform = transform;
     }
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         GameObject go = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
         
         target = go.transform;
         
         maxDistance = 2.5f;
     
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         Debug.DrawLine(target.position, myTransform.position, Color.yellow);
         
         //Look at target
         myTransform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(myTransform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(target.position - myTransform.position), rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
         
         if(Vector3.Distance(target.position, myTransform.position) > maxDistance){
             
         //Move towards target
         myTransform.position += myTransform.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
         }
     }
 }

Thank you in advance.

You need to bring the position you are using for your LookRotation() down to the level of the AI. For example, you can change update to:

    void Update () {
        Debug.DrawLine(target.position, myTransform.position, Color.yellow);
  
        //Look at target
        Vector3 v3 = target.position - myTransform.position;
        v3.y = 0.0f;
        myTransform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(myTransform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(v3), rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
  
        if(Vector3.Distance(target.position, myTransform.position) > maxDistance){
  
        //Move towards target
        myTransform.position += myTransform.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
        }
     }

I see what you are saying, but when I add the code in Unity gives me the following error

"Assets/Scripts/EnemyAI.cs(32,12): error CS0664: Literal of type double cannot be implicitly converted to type float'. Add suffix f' to create a literal of this type"

and when I double click it takes me to this line of code

 v3.y = 0.0;

Thank you for you quick response.

Edit: I think it might have had something to do with missing an F at the end of the code you gave me so the after adding F like so:

 v3.y = 0.0F;

It works beautifully. Thank you very much!

I keep switching back and forth between Javascript and C# and forgetting the 'f'...even when writing my own code.

Thanks @robertbu & @Eggplanet! Still relevant in 5.2 a couple of years later. Worked perfectly.

Replaced

 myTransform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(myTransform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(target.position - myTransform.position), rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

With:

 Vector3 v3 = target.position - myTransform.position;
 v3.y = 0.0f;
 myTransform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(myTransform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(v3), rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

Thanks again!
