transform.LookAt on Y axis only? (C#)
Hey people. I'm stuck in my game because i need my mobs to only look at the player on the axis. When the mobs walks over to me they also look up while walking since i'm on a higher spot than them. This also causes them to stand in front of me while looking up and hitting me. So i wanted to add a gravity to them and make them only rotate on the Y axis. Since i can't say transform.LookAt(target.transform.position.y) what would then be the easiest solution?
Thanks in advance.
Here's a piece of code from one of my projects, you need to convert it to C# but it works.
var isTurning : Boolean;
var turnSpeed : float = 5.0f;
function TurnTowards(lookAtTarget : Vector3)
{
if(isTurning == false)
{
var aimingDirection = lookAtTarget - transform.position;
var qTo : Quaternion;
var angle = -Mathf.Atan2(aimingDirection.z, aimingDirection.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + 90.0;
angle = Mathf.Round(angle / 45.0f) * 45.0f;
qTo = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.up);
for (var u = 0.0; u <= 1.0; u += Time.deltaTime * turnSpeed)
{
isTurning = true;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, qTo, u);
yield;
}
isTurning = false;
}
return;
}
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class lookyHere : MonoBehaviour {
// Use this for initialization
public Transform target;
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
Vector3 tempPos = new Vector3(0,target.position.y,0); //this will only affect the y axis, you can shuffle the values around to make it only x or only z or a combination of any.
transform.LookAt(tempPos);
}
Just add a Rigidbody on your object and froze the X-axis and Z-axis That should work
False. Transform.LookAt has nothing to do with physics simulation. Constraining a rigidbody only affects physics simulation done on that gameobject. You can change the transform of any gameobject, it is absolutely not related to the rigidbody.
