Waypoint System Does Not Rotate Enemy?

Question

Hello,

My waypoint system does not rotate my enemy according to the direction of the waypoint. Here is my script:

var waypoint : Transform[]; static var speed : float = 5; private var currentWaypoint : int;

function Update () 
{
    if(currentWaypoint < waypoint.length)
    {
        var target : Vector3 = waypoint[currentWaypoint].position;
        var moveDirection : Vector3 = target - transform.position;
        var velocity = rigidbody.velocity;

     if(moveDirection.magnitude &lt; 1)
     {
         currentWaypoint++;
     }
     else
     {
         velocity = moveDirection.normalized*speed;
     }
 }

 rigidbody.velocity = velocity;

Any suggestions why? Thanks. Ollie

You could add

transform.LookAt(currentWaypoint);

right after you set rigidbody.velocity

Edit (To set it to only rotate around x):

var lookAt = currentWaypoint.position - transform.position; lookAt.x = 0; //if you want to rotate around only y, set lookAt.y to 0 instead

transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(lookAt);

This works - but how do I set it to only the X axis of the transform?

Well, this is off topic - but my AI is, well - VERY basic. All it allows is for an enemy to talk to one point, and then to another - and then another. If you click on my profile, you will find my email - send me a message and I'll help you out.
