NavMeshAgent - LookAt while moving?

Hi

While my NavMeshAgent navigates around bumps I want it to look at a target point that it is trying to navigate to, instead of it looking straight ahead.

how can i have it 'LookAt' a target (locking its eyes / direction on the target's position) while it does it navigation to that target?

thank you

 

Put the mesh under a pivot. Move the main parent while rotating the pivot.

 

Mm not sure i understand will it not walk off the pivot?

 

Hierarchy should look like this

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject(Your parent, put agent component here)
2.     ->Pivot(rotate this)
3.           ->Mesh

 

mm thank you, i think i see, i will test this and feedback

 

I have been battling a lot recently with instantiating an object in front of another object at the 'local' rotation of the object... ended up with this complex function whenever i have to do this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.         Quaternion rotation;
3.         Vector3 targetPos  = ComputeDestination (90, 0.05f, transform.position, transform.forward);;
4.  
5.         rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation (targetPos - transform.position);
6.  
7.         GameObject newBullet = Instantiate (BulletPrefab, targetPos, rotation);

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3 ComputeDestination(float degrees, float distance, Vector3 origin, Vector3 forward)
2. {
3.     Quaternion rotation;
4.     Vector3 direction;
5.     Vector3 result;
6.  
7.     //compute the rotation
8.     rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(degrees, Vector3.up);
9.     //add distance to teh direction
10.     direction = rotation * forward * distance;
11.     //add the desired distance and direction to the origin point
12.     result = origin + direction;
13.  
14.     return result;
15. }
