Make an object rotate to face the player (but only on x and z axes)
So I have a model of a person that I want to constantly rotate to face the player when the player moves. Here is the code:
var direction:Vector3 = ObjectB.transform.position - transform.position;
rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction); transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotation, rotincrement);
It works but the problem is that the "position" property of the player is actually around head height, so the other person is kinda tilting upwards as it gets closer to the player, eventually resulting in it falling over. Is there any way to do this so that the other person only rotates on 2 axes instead of all 3?
You are almost there Add this to your script
`transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(0,transform.eulerAngles,0)//Rotate y,not x and z`
There's many ways to achieve what you need. The simpler one being:
- create an empty gameobject and name it 'player ground'
- child it to the 'player', and align it with the 'ground' of the player
- use the 'player ground' object as a target for your turret
Ideally though, your 'player' model origin should be at ground level, so that all controller operations are consistent with the floor.
