Question by Triqy · Dec 02, 2013 at 09:33 PM · gameobjecttransformtagfind

Convert a GameObject to a transform?

What i need to do is find a GameObject with findtag; in the scene and convert it to a transform so i can use

 `transform.LookAt(target);`

If there is another way of doing this that would also be great! Thanks Guys! I cant seem to wrap my head around it yet.

 #pragma strict 
 
 //If you want to change tag in inspector. $$anonymous$$ainCamera is default just for this example.
 var targetTag : String = "$$anonymous$$ainCamera";
 private var target : Transform;
 
 function Start()
 {
     //Use GameObject.FindWithTag as usual, then reference the GameObject's Transform component.
     target = GameObject.FindWithTag(targetTag).transform;
     print(target.name);
 }

If the target in your code is the GameObject just use this: transform.LookAt(target.transform);
