Why does transform.LookAt move the character when using rootmotion?

Hi,

I am not sure if I am missing something or using this wrong… but I have a character that uses mecanim rootmotion.

Why is it when I try and get this character to look at a particular object it always moves towards this? How do I make it look at the object without having it moving the character.

transform.LookAt( new Vector3(sphere.transform.position.x, sphere.transform.position.y, sphere.transform.position.z) )

I’m a little worried… does nobody know the answer? or does nobody use Mecanim and rootmotion for moving characters around.

um slightly unrelated but the code that you posted above is kinda weird, you’re unnecessarily constructing a Vector3, it should be transform.LookAt( sphere.transform.position ); instead . Good luck on solving your problem though.
