Question by Garrett Chase 3 · Mar 09, 2010 at 12:50 AM · rotationmovementcharactercontrollermodelorientation

How can I get my model to face the direction it is moving?

I want my model to face the direction that it is moving in. Does anyone have some good code to do this? Here is the code that I am using to move the model:

        moveDirection = new Vector3((Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")), (-Input.GetAxis("Vertical")), 0);
        moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
        moveDirection *= speed;

I want the model to rotate and face the direction that it is moving. Like I said if anyone has any good code for doing this, I would really appreciate it.

A simple way is to use LookAt. So this would give something like:

moveDirection = new Vector3((Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")), (-Input.GetAxis("Vertical")), 0);
moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
moveDirection *= speed;
if (moveDirection.sqrMagnitude > 0f) {
    transform.LookAt(transform.position + moveDirection, Vector3.forward);
}

Thanks, this should work. I just have to do a little tuning because for some reason my model's axis' are messed up.

As your question will move up and down depending on the votes, you'll need to add more details on what exactly isn't working for you for someone to be able to help.
