Sprites facing the camera

Hello, I am making a 3D game in unity 2019.4.22f1 and I would like to make a system like Baldi's Basics, in which the characters are 2D sprites but they always look towards the camera. Can I get some script to do that?

 

Create a child of your object and attach a sprite renderer to it. Then add a script to the child with the following:

Code (CSharp):

1.  void Update() {
2.         transform.LookAt(Camera.main.transform);
3.     }

 

Ok, it doesn't work for me ...
Can you send the complete script?
It does not tell me that there are errors, but the sprite does not always look at the camera, and I have followed the instructions to create a new object as a child of the sprite, I have put the render and the script, but it does not work

 

and by the way, I do not know these influences, but I am not using the main camera, but a first person

 

Ok, I've already done it

 

I have already worked well, but when the sprite rotates the camera also moves automatically ...

 

I've already fixed it, I'll stop bothering you

 

One last question ... How do I make it only turn sideways and not up and down?

 

You should be able to use the 2nd parameter of the Look At function to achieve this. Specify the up direction:

transform.LookAt(Camera.main.transform, Vector3.Up);

Im on mobile so hopefully that is right.

 

It's wrong, it says Vector3 didn't work with Up so I set it to lowercase to see if that was the error. The game was working, but it kept spinning up when the character jumped

 

Doesn't work...

 

Let's slow down a bit here and identify what you're trying to do. This is basically called "sprite billboarding" and comes in various flavors:

- aligned towards camera position
- aligned towards camera +Z
- aligned to something else?

Now with that new search word, go check out "sprite billboarding" on Youtube tutorials and get a feel for what is involved. it will NOT just be a simple script. There will be VERY SPECIFIC hookup requirements, such as customizing it to the camera, the specific sprite, the anchor and pivot offset around which you want it to rotate, and perhaps many other things, including but not limited to the axes you are using for your game (X/Z vs X/Y for example).

 

ok thanks, I couldn't search for that because I speak Spanish and didn't know what the script was called ...

 

Well, I have already learned how to do it and change the variables, since it seems that the script I found was old and I had to change a couple of things
