Mouse rotate script + character move script = weird movement.

Okay, so I have this simple script that makes my character (currently, a cube) look at my mouse.

Code (CSharp):

1. var mousePosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (Input.mousePosition);
2. Quaternion rot = Quaternion.LookRotation (transform.position - mousePosition, Vector3.forward);
3.  
4. transform.rotation = rot;
5. transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3 (0, transform.eulerAngles.y, 0);

Works (yay!). But then I have the character move script (CharacterMove.cs) that also does what I want it do.

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update () {
2.         if (Input.GetKey ("w"))
3.             transform.Translate (Vector3.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
4.         if (Input.GetKey ("s"))
5.             transform.Translate (Vector3.back * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
6.         if (Input.GetKey ("a"))
7.             transform.Translate (Vector3.left * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime) ;
8.         if (Input.GetKey ("d"))
9.             transform.Translate (Vector3.right * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
10.     }

But when combined, the character tries to follow the mouse when I move it.

I dont want it to follow my mouse, only look at it, and movement is strictly controlled by the keyboard.

How can I go about this?

You are moving relative to object orientation. If you want your movement to follow the world axis you have to modify all Translate like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. transform.Translate (Vector3.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
3.  

 

Dude, that works perfect. Thank you!

 

Another quick question, not completely related to the original post, but using the same scripts.

The script works fine until I added a empty game object "hands" under the player (which has a cube), then it throws the rotation slightly off (the mouse is now at the right side of the cube instead in front of it, but if I disable "hands" it's fixed).



It still rotates, but not exactly on the mouse. I think this is because it's now seeing the center of the player as a different location because the "gun" cube throws off the center-position of the player.

How can I go about fixing this?
