Rotating plane along z axis
I'm using this script to shoot a projectile along a plane but I'm trying to get them to shoot towards where the mouse is located. I have it following along the wrong axis. The code is for a side scroller so I would like it to rotate along the z axis to be able to aim above the character as well. Thank you in advance!
// LookAtMouse will cause an object to rotate toward the cursor, along the y axis.
// // To use, drop on an object that should always look toward the mouse cursor. // Change the speed value to alter how quickly the object rotates toward the mouse.
// speed is the rate at which the object will rotate var speed = 4.0;
function Update() { // Generate a plane that intersects the transform's position with an upwards normal. var playerPlane = new Plane(Vector3.up, transform.position);
// Generate a ray from the cursor position var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
// Determine the point where the cursor ray intersects the plane. // This will be the point that the object must look towards to be looking at the mouse. // Raycasting to a Plane object only gives us a distance, so we'll have to take the distance, // then find the point along that ray that meets that distance. This will be the point // to look at. var hitdist = 0.0; // If the ray is parallel to the plane, Raycast will return false. if (playerPlane.Raycast(ray, hitdist)) { // Get the point along the ray that hits the calculated distance. var targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
// Determine the target rotation. This is the rotation if the transform looks at the target point.
var targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetPoint - transform.position);
// Smoothly rotate towards the target point.
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
