    I know this is probably a very simple question, but how would I get an object to face the cursor? Also, how would I get an object to move towards another object?

    Like I said, this is probably very simple to do but I haven't the slightest idea of what to do.


    Thanks for any help

    That's a good question. The beginning of Advent Fate has that effect; I've wondered how that was accomplished as well.....

    Convert screen to world coords, then use LookAt().

    Another question, how do I get the object (a cube in this case) to only rotate on the Y axis?

    Use transform.rotate and only specify a y-rotation? Or are you asking this in conjunction with wanting to look at some point? If so then you have to determine your point of interest, the modify that point so it's in the model's x-z plane then look at that modified point instead.
