Unity Script Reference – Quaternion.LookRotation

Quaternion.LookRotation

static function LookRotation (forward : Vector3, upwards : Vector3 = Vector3.up) : Quaternion

Description

Creates a rotation with the specified forward and upwards directions.

If used to orient a Transform, the Z axis will be aligned with forward and the Y axis with upwards. Logs an error if the forward direction is zero.

JavaScript

    // Most of the time you can use:
    // transform.LookAt instead
    var target : Transform;
    function Update () {
        var relativePos = target.position - transform.position;
        var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(relativePos);
        transform.rotation = rotation;
    }

    public Transform target;
    void Update() {
        Vector3 relativePos = target.position - transform.position;
        Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(relativePos);
        transform.rotation = rotation;

class example(MonoBehaviour):

    public target as Transform

    def Update():
        relativePos as Vector3 = (target.position - transform.position)
        rotation as Quaternion = Quaternion.LookRotation(relativePos)
        transform.rotation = rotation
