Class LookAtComponent

Orients a SceneObject towards a target SceneObject.

Example

// Switches through LookAt targets in a list on each tap
//@input Component.LookAtComponent lookAt
//@input SceneObject[] targets

var targetIndex = 0;

script.createEvent("TapEvent").bind(function(eventData)
{
	if(script.targets.length > 0)
	{
		targetIndex = (targetIndex + 1) % script.targets.length;
		script.lookAt.target = script.targets[targetIndex];
	}
});

// Set aimVectors to [-Z Aim, Y Up]
// (Useful for aiming the camera since it faces towards -Z)
//@input Component.LookAtComponent lookAt
script.lookAt.aimVectors = LookAtComponent.AimVectors.NegativeZAimYUp;

Properties

aimVectors

aimVectors: AimVectors

The "aim" and "up" vectors used when determining rotation. LookAtComponent will try to point the Aim axis of the SceneObject towards the target, while keeping the Up axis of the SceneObject pointing towards worldUpVector.

enabled

enabled: boolean

If disabled, the Component will stop enacting its behavior.

lookAtMode

lookAtMode: LookAtMode

Controls the method of rotation being used.

offsetRotation

offsetRotation: quat

Adds an additional rotation offset.

ReadonlysceneObject

sceneObject: SceneObject

The scene object this component is on.

target

target: SceneObject

The SceneObject this LookAtComponent targets.

ReadonlyuniqueIdentifier

uniqueIdentifier: string

worldUpVector

worldUpVector: WorldUpVector

The vector to be considered the "up" vector when determining rotation.

Methods

destroy

  • destroy(): void

    Destroys the component.

    Returns void

getTypeName

  • getTypeName(): string

    Returns the name of this object's type.

    Returns string

isOfType

  • isOfType(type: string): boolean

    Returns true if the object matches or derives from the passed in type.

    Parameters

    • type: string

    Returns boolean
