AimConstraint

Description

Constrains the orientation of a GameObject based on the position of one or more sources.

Use this constraint to aim a GameObject towards one or more sources. For example, when you want to aim a turret towards many targets. You can also adjust the weight of each source to influence whether the constrained GameObject aims more towards one source over another source.

Make sure you use AimConstraint properties to align the orientation of the constraint. Otherwise, the constrained GameObject might aim in the wrong direction.

Refer to Aim Constraint Component for more details.

// This example uses an AimConstraint to aim a GameObject towards two sources.
// The first source has a greater influence than the second source based on their assigned weight.
