Question

I want my model to face the direction that it is moving in. Does anyone have some good code to do this? Here is the code that I am using to move the model:

        moveDirection = new Vector3((Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")), (-Input.GetAxis("Vertical")), 0);
        moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
        moveDirection *= speed;

I want the model to rotate and face the direction that it is moving. Like I said if anyone has any good code for doing this, I would really appreciate it.

A simple way is to use LookAt. So this would give something like:

moveDirection = new Vector3((Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")), (-Input.GetAxis("Vertical")), 0);
moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
moveDirection *= speed;
if (moveDirection.sqrMagnitude > 0f) {
    transform.LookAt(transform.position + moveDirection, Vector3.forward);
}

Thanks, this should work. I just have to do a little tuning because for some reason my model's axis' are messed up.

As your question will move up and down depending on the votes, you'll need to add more details on what exactly isn't working for you for someone to be able to help.

@mike1602 and this is not exactly the right spot to ask questions.. this area is only for answers.. so consider adding comment instead if you need more details on the same question... :)
