How to rotate your character's focus in 8-way combat???

So I'm working on an 8-way combat game. For those of you who don't know the term, it's like Tekken, DOA, Soul Calibur, etc. I know how to make players fight and all that jazz, but how do I make sure that no matter where my character is going, he's focusing on the other player with his sight? Obviously I tried rotating the character model when walking up or down, but that makes him rotate in circles and the illusion of focus is broken once that occurs. It's been awhile since I've coded, so please forgive my rustiness. I've tried googling this problem, but all I get are hits for camera focus and not player model focus.

 

Transform.LookAt?

 

I did come across that too, but I don't really understand the demonstration in the scripting reference. I should've added that to my original post. Can you dumb it down for me?

 

Code (CSharp):

1. this.transform.LookAt(target);

 

After realizing target was a transform and not a gameobject, I was able to dump a gameobject into the inspector and it worked great. Haha. Thanks a lot guys.

 

No problem. Glad to be of service. Best of luck in all your future endeavours!
