Hi community, im trying to do this without asking for help, but am really struggling getting my player to keep looking at target when clicked. it looks at target, but when I move it stops looking, im tryin to keep it locked until either target destroyed or when deselect. any hint or tips would be apprieciated as I’ve been stuck for over a day and can find nothing on forum about problem. thanks

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Targeting : MonoBehaviour {
	
 
  private Transform selectedTarget;
  
  void Update(){
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){ // when button clicked...
      RaycastHit hit; // cast a ray from mouse pointer:
      Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
      // if enemy hit...
      if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit) && hit.transform.CompareTag("Enemy")){
        DeselectTarget(); // deselect previous target (if any)...
        selectedTarget = hit.transform; //set the new one...
        SelectTarget(); // and select it
      }
    }
  }

  private void SelectTarget(){
    selectedTarget.renderer.material.color = Color.red;
	transform.LookAt(selectedTarget.transform);
  }

  private void DeselectTarget(){
    if (selectedTarget){ // if any guy selected, deselect it
      selectedTarget.renderer.material.color = Color.blue;
      selectedTarget = null;
    }
  }
}

You’ll need to do the LookAt in the Update method. Thus, just create a boolean for something like bool lockView = false; - set it to true when the target is selected. In the Update, check if it’s true and if so, LookAt.
