Hi all,

After making a lot of progress today getting a character to move on a plane responding to clicks, I've hit a wall when it comes to rotation and direction. I now have the character moving nicely and a smooth rotation using Quaternion.Slerp, but it always 'turns back to the front' direction during the move.

My face function:

// Make the character face the direction of movement
void FaceMovementDirection( )
{

    Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation ( targetLocation - thisTransform.position );

    targetRotation.z = 0;
    targetRotation.x = 0;
    //targetRotation.y = 0;

    float smooth = 2.0F;

    Vector3 tempVector = targetLocation - thisTransform.position;

    if (tempVector.magnitude > 0.1)
    {
        thisTransform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp (thisTransform.rotation, 
                                             targetRotation,
                                             smooth * Time.deltaTime);
    }

}

The move function:

// Control the character
void CharacterControl()
{

    // Check to see if a new destination has been found
    if (state == (int)ControlState.FoundNewDestination )
    {

       // get a new movement position
       RaycastHit hit;
       Ray ray = cam.ScreenPointToRay ( Input.mousePosition ); // Get the position
       if ( Physics.Raycast (ray, out hit) )
       {

         // Found a new position, now is it a valid target?
         float clickDist = ( transform.position - hit.point ).magnitude;

         if (clickDist > minimumDistanceToMove )
         {

          Debug.Log ("Distance to Target:" + clickDist);
          targetLocation = hit.point;
          moving = true;

         }

       }

    }


    Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero; // declares an empty movement vector

    if ( moving )
    {

       if (character.isGrounded) 
       {

         moveDirection = targetLocation - thisTransform.position;
         moveDirection.y = 0;

         moveDirection = thisTransform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
         moveDirection *= speed;

       }

       moveDirection.y -= gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
       character.Move ( moveDirection * Time.deltaTime );


    }

    FaceMovementDirection();

}

Any and all help would really be appreciated!
