I been searching all around for a solution to my problem and i tried a number of different scripts and for some reason i cannot get this to work! im trying to get my enemy to rotate and follow the player…simple enough right?? WHen i apply my script … the enemy just walks in the Z direction and doesn’t follow the character at all or just sits there and doesn’t do anything PLEASE somebody help me. And with the other scripts i’ve tried, i get an error stating “Look rotation viewing vector is zero”…any ideas!!!
here are the scripts im trying to use and still no result…
SIMPLE BUT DOESNT WORK:
var lookAtTarget : Transform;
var runningspeed : int;
var range : int;
var damp : float;
var attackRange : int;
function Start()
{
animation.wrapMode = WrapMode.Loop;
}
function Awake()
{
if (!lookAtTarget)
{
lookAtTarget = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").transform;
ENEMY_HEALTH = 10;
}
}
function Update()
{
if(lookAtTarget inRange())
{
var rotate = Quaternion.LookRotation(lookAtTarget.transform.position - transform.position);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotate, Time.deltaTime * damp);
transform.Translate (0,0,runningspeed*Time.deltaTime);
}
function inRange()
{
if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, lookAtTarget.position) > range)
{
return false;
}
return true;
}
another script i tried using from the 3d platform tutorial:
var attackTurnTime = 0.7;
var rotateSpeed = 120.0;
var attackDistance = 17.0;
var extraRunTime = 2.0;
var damage = 1;
var attackSpeed = 5.0;
var attackRotateSpeed = 20.0;
var idleTime = 1.6;
var punchPosition = new Vector3 (0.4, 0, 0.7);
var punchRadius = 1.1;
// sounds

// initialize audio clip. Make sure it's set to the "idle" sound.
//audio.clip = idleSound;

// Just attack for now
while (true)

// Don't do anything when idle. And wait for player to be in range!
// This is the perfect time for the player to attack us

{
