Make object follow player?

Hi
I have a game object, and I want to make it follow the player (FPSController) without rotating.
I've tried giving the object a mouse orbit script and paring it with the player, but it didn't work. The character ended up rotating with the player. How would I do this?

Thanks!!!

 

A clumsy answer for a piece of unseen code is just to add a zeroing rotation at the end of the mouse orbit script...

something like

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. GameObject.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, 0));
3.  

you would have to change "GameObject" to the appropriate object though...

hope that works - get back to me if it doesn't...

really though - if you want the object to ""follow"" there are a lot of better solutions...

I am curious - if you want the object always behind, or just draging like a corpse, or perhaps something more elaborate like orbiting and moving closer as such, but generally always behind....

There is some abiguity to the question

One thing I might suggest is to make the object move around a little - like with a range of -1.0 to 1.0 or something a little larger depending on your scale - you can then add a negative forward vector to the player - and move the object to that position...

This will ensure the object is always behind the player - but not directly behind at all times...

 

It didn't work, it said that "the file didn't exist".

As for my desired effect. I want the camera to rotate around the offset character (done) and to move in the direction the camera's looking (done), but I haven't gotten the character model to move with my invisible FPSController. It looks something like this

By the way, thanks for not being a huge jerk about this. people on the forums can be so mean.
