Look At Target Without Y

Questions & Answers

How can I make my script have the enemy look at the Player without using the local Y axis so he doesn’t rotate into the air? So far he looks at the Player but once the Player gets too close or jumps, he’ll start rotating into the air to look at him, any help?

//LOOK AT THE PLAYER ONCE TARGETED//
	if(targeted){ 
		var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Player.transform.position - transform.position);
		transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotation, Time.deltaTime * damping);
		ChasePlayer = gameObject.GetComponent("EnemyControl");
		if(distanceToTarget >= 2){
			isMoving = true;
		}else{
			isMoving = false;
		}
	}else{
		isMoving = false;
	}
//CHASE THE PLAYER//
	if(isMoving){
		animation.CrossFade("run",0.2);
	    var controller2 : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);    
		var forward : Vector3 = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
		controller2.SimpleMove(forward * 3);
	}
}

The fastest way to do this is to zero out x and z after your call to lookat.

transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0,transform.eulerAngles.y,0);

I may not be 100% clear on what you mean, but you can always manually set any rotation value before applying it to a transform. If you want Y to remain constant, simply set the y property of the rotation to whatever you want before applying it. Something like this, maybe:

var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Player.transform.position - transform.position);
rotation.y = 0;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotation, Time.deltaTime * damping);

[edit] Now that I think about it, you may want to set the x property, not y.
