Character Face Camera Direction

Questions & Answers

Hi

I have written a script that makes my character move. However, I would like the character to face which ever way the camera is pointing

Here is the script:

var speed : float = 6.0;
var jumpSpeed : float = 8.0;
var gravity : float = 20.0;
var distance : float = 5;

private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;

function Update()
{
var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
if (controller.isGrounded)
{

    moveDirection = Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0,
                            Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
    moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
    moveDirection *= speed;
 
    if (Input.GetButton ("Jump")) 
    {
        moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
    }
    
}

// Apply gravity
moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;

// Move the controller
controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);

}

I have tried using

moveDirection = transform.LookAt(transform.position + Vector3(Camera.forward.x, 0, Camera.forward.z));

to make the character face the direction of the camera but no luck :frowning:

Any help would be amazing!

Assuming this script is on the character, try this:

transform.rotation = Camera.main.transform.rotation;
