Component:LookAtUser

Component image 

LookAtUser component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The LookAtUser component drives the rotation specified by _rotationDrive to point towards the user specified in TargetUser, or the Local User if TargetAtLocalUser is checked.

Fields

Fields

Name	Type	Description
persistent	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
UpdateOrder	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
Enabled	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
TargetUser	User	The user to look at, unless TargetAtLocalUser is checked.
TargetAtLocalUser	Bool	Targets the Local User in each client.
SourcePositionOffset	Float3	Offset from which to calculate the look vector.
Invert	Bool	The rotated item faces away from the user, instead of towards.
RotationOffset	FloatQ	The degree to which the item is rotated away from the look vector.
PositionSource	LookAtUser.UserNode	The UserNode to calculate the look vector from
AroundAxis	Bool	The rotation is around an arbitrary axis defined in Axis.
Axis	Float3	A unit vector specifying the arbitrary axis to rotate around
_rotationDrive	field drive of FloatQ	Automatically Assigned - The FloatQ to be driven by this component.

UserNode

Values

Name	Value	Description
Root	0	Component orients to look at the user's root node (Usually user slot)
Head	1	Component orients to look at the user's head node (Usually the top of the neck where the head bends.
View	2	Component orients to look at the user's view point (camera view) only works in local, else will look at the local user regardless of other settings. This may be a bug.

Usage

Attach to a slot, and then specify fields. Sometimes the fields like rotation offset and around axis may not adjust orientation as desired. In most cases, simply adding a slot beside the object that should look at another object (EX a piston that is already oriented to look at its target at rest) and then parenting it will achieve the desired effect.

Examples

Piston constraints (primagen/cyborgs), UI elements, Turrets, limb constraints, and mechanical machines/parts.
