I can’t make my character face left, right, or back, depending on the input. When I move it, it does look where the camera is facing, but not based on the input. How can I implement that in my script? Also, I’m using the Phantom Camera Add-On, but I was told by the developers that my issue is a godot one, not an add-on issue.
I tried to use look_at “$%Character.look_at(global_transform.origin + direction, Vector3.UP)”, but the character faces the opposite side of the input (ex: faces left if I pressright) for a split of a second. It then never faces any direction again, it just faces where the camera looks, as I explained previously.
I was just told that look_at wouldn’t work for that, but rather a rotation setter, where you set the rotation of the character relative to the camera’s rotation and based on the direction you press. The current look_at() approach doesn’t seem to take that into account?
You have the “#Update the character’s rotation based on input” code, then right after the “#Update the character’s rotation based on camera rotation” code that “overwrites” whatever the former does with look_at() to the character’s rotation.
Try commenting out the whole “based on camera rotation” part to see how it works using only look_at().
Three things happen after removing/commenting out those lines:
The camera now can rotate without rotating the model, which was expected.
The character moves forward if pressed up, then looks in the opposite direction of the input whenever I press right/left/down. I figured it was the look_at part of the script, so I removed it and everything seems stable, but now I need to find a way to rotate the model.
The character’s inputs are independent of the direction of the camera. if I press up the character will go forward wherever the model is facing. I assume this is due to the movement being attached to the orientation of the model.
