Question by Caiuse · Feb 16, 2011 at 12:46 PM · rotationpivot

Rotate an instantiated GameObject towards another GameObjects pivot point

How can I rotate an instantiated GameObject towards another GameObjects pivot point when it is instantiated?

function checkForBuilding() { var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition); var hit : RaycastHit; if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 100) && hit.collider.gameObject.CompareTag("Ground")){ //Tell unity there there is a building buildingHit = true; Debug.Log("Hit One"); myGround = (Instantiate(buildingObject,hit.point,transform.rotation)).transform; transform.LookAt(myGround); //Instantiate(Quaternion.identity); } yield(2);

}

My problem seems to be the object instantiates but doesn't rotate in time to face the target. I there a way for me to rotate the object before it even instantiates?

Thanks - C

The following is untested, but it should be something like:

void SpawnPrefabAndRotate( Transform prefab, Transform target )
{
  GameObject go = Instantiate( prefab.gameObject ) as GameObject;
  go.transform.LookAt( target );
}

I don't really know JS, but I'm thinking it'll be something like:

function SpawnPrefabAndRotate( var prefab : Transform, var target : Transform )
{
  var go : GameObject = Instantiate( prefab.gameObject );
  go.transform.LookAt( target );
}
