[SOLVED]getting a normalized forward vector("best" way)?

Hey Guys,

I need a vector that is normalized and always points into the "front" direction of my object.

I tried "transform.forward = FrontVector;" but that doesnt work at all.

because i needet a fast solution i wrote :

and then i made the direction vector :

and i think this is a bit unfavorable.

the second try was to make a child obj, and then calculate the vector (Parent-Child).

both works, but i dunno if there is a better solution, or if one of these is the best.

You just need the local forward vector?

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform-forward.html is the local forward in world space.

 

OP, I think you have your assignment backwards...

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. transform.forward = FrontVector;
3.  

This will rotate the gameobject to face in the direction of FrontVector.

You probably want:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. FrontVector = transform.forward;
3.  

That gets the value of forward, and sets FrontVector to it.

 

ooooops sry i cant belive i did that .

ty for your help, now it works <3
