Enemy Rotation Problem

Questions & Answers
1

Hey guys, I have a problem here. I have been trying to fix it but i just couldn’t get it. I am still new in unity, started using unity about 7 weeks already.
Okay, so i have this script of my enemy following my main character, and what i want it to do is to rotate as well, but it seems like the enemy is rotating but in a weird way. here is the code
Thank you so much for helping.

var Player : Transform;
var MoveSpeed = 4;
var MaxDist = 100;
var MinDist = 50;
private var tr : int = 180;
private var moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
 
 
 
function Start () 
{

}
 
function Update () 
{
    //transform.LookAt(Player);
 	var dist: float = Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position);
 	var dir: Vector3 = Player.position - transform.position;
 	//Debug.Log(dir);
 	dir.Normalize();
 	
 	 if(dist > MinDist)
    {
 
         transform.position += dir * MoveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
 
         if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position) <= MaxDist)
         {
               transform.eulerAngles.y += (transform.eulerAngles.y - tr) / 2;
		 } 

	if(dir.x>0){
		//looking to the right
		tr = 180;
		
	} else {
		tr = -180;
		
	}
	
	// if(dir.x<0){
		//looking to the left
		//tr = 0;
		//transform.eulerAngles.y += (transform.eulerAngles.y + tr) / 2;
		
	}
	
	
}

You say, “I only want it to rotate on the X axis,” but your existing code is rotating the object on the y axis. So I’m going to assume you really want a ‘y’ axis rotation. If so, this is likely what you are looking for:

function Update ()  {
    var lookPos = Player.position;
    lookPos.y = transform.position.y;
    transform.LookAt(lookPos);
    
    var dist: float = Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position);
    var dir: Vector3 = Player.position - transform.position;
    
    dir.Normalize();
 
     if(dist > MinDist) {
         transform.position += dir * MoveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
 
         if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position) <= MaxDist) {
               transform.eulerAngles.y += (transform.eulerAngles.y - tr) / 2;
         } 
    }
}

It works by putting the Players position on the same ‘y’ as this object, resulting in a rotation only on the y axis.
