Transform.lookAt doesn't work properly. pivot problem. (SOLVED)

I want an enemy ship to face towards the player but i get an unusual rotation in the enemy ship when i use this function on the enemy ship. my enemy ship pivot is far away from it's mesh.

IS THERE ANY ALTERNATIVE FUNCTION OR METHOD to point my ship z towards a moving player ship??

please help!

 

Is it not possible for you to change your ship's pivot to be on the mesh?

The other solution is to have your ship's mesh be a child to a GameObject which for all intents and purposes will be the "real" ship. Offset the GameObject with the mesh by the opposite offset of its pivot, then use Transform.LookAt on the parent.

 

I searched a lot to change the pivot but couldn't find any way to change that in unity. (Tell me if you got any way) how would making the enemy a child of the player make it point towards the playrr aalways . And that would create thousands more problema for me. I am sure that's not. A convenient way. I need to change the pivot posion or if there is some other way then it would be great.

 

Thanks for your help. I solved it by placing the object in An empty game object so that the empty object becomes the parent, and now the lookAt function works properly.
