Lock target and orbit it
Hello community,
I have a controller script which is working fine. But now I want to add a feature to lock an enemy. While the enemy is locked the camera and character should always focus the target and when I move left/right, I want to orbit this target. (Like in Dark Souls/Demons Souls)
Any idea how I can archive that?
Thanks
I acheved something similar with a few lines of code. I don´t have the code right now, so I can´t look it up but i can give you the basic idea and edit the answer when I will be able to look it up.
The basic idea is: - You have a target, you want to lock on. You will need its position. - There is a Transform.LookAt function. You pass it the target´s position. - Next step is moving sideways. Transform.Translate(Vector3.right speed Time.deltaTime * ControllerAxisValue) should do it.
The outcome should be like this: - The character will be rotated towards the target - The character moves sideways. - In the next frame the character will be rotated towards the target again.
All this added together should result in an lock on with orbiting the target.
Note: This will only work properly if the player controls the orbiting character.
All 3 answers tell the same solution. But yours is the most detailed one. So I give you the correct answer. Thanks
You could try using the Transform.LookAt and set the enemy as your target. Like this
var enemy : Transform;
function Update() {
transform.LookAt(enemy);
}
Try Transform.LookAt to look to your target. Then use transform.RotateAround and pass the axis to rotate, the point pivot to rotate and the angle.
