Rotate Turret where touched (top down view)
I have a top down view of a turret(player) and I want it to aim where the user touches. How do I rotate it, on XZ plane, to face the user's touch?
Ive tried
Quaternion.Slerp(player.transform.rotation, touch, 6 * bananas);
but it has failed me..
Without knowing exactly what failed,I could only suggest to try and freeze the Y rotation of it assu$$anonymous$$g that that's the problem.
var lookPos = touch - transform.position;
lookPos.y = 0;
var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(lookPos);
player.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(player.transform.rotation, rotation, 6 * bananas);
I did something like this. But it wasn't turning properly.
Edit: touch is type Vector3
If touch is a screen touch, it will be in screen coordinates and will need to be translated to world coordinates before you can subtract transform.position. You can use Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint().
Thank you sooo much robertbu! that fixed it! Heres the code if other people need it. :)
var tapCount = Input.touchCount;
if(tapCount > 0)
{
Vector3 touch = Input.GetTouch(0).position;
Vector3 screen = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(touch.x, touch.y, Camera.main.nearClipPlane + 5.0f));
var lookPos = screen - player.transform.position;
lookPos.y = 0;
var rot = Quaternion.LookRotation(lookPos); // now get the desired rotation
player.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(player.transform.rotation, rot, 6 * Time.deltaTime);
}
theere is an error on you script. ( expected. Insert a semicolon at the end.) how can fix that?
