Best way to implement lock-on target movement?

[mostlyhuman]

What is the best way to implement a lock-on system with UCC where if the player presses a button to lock-on to an enemy, the player character will then rotate around the enemy in a circle when pressing left or right?

To get started did you add the target locking functionality?

From there if you are in combat mode the character will then circle around the target.

Is there a way to have the Aim Assist to target a empty gameobject instead of a bone?

 

[Justin]

Yes - there's actually an example of this within the demo scene and the aim assist docs gives more details.

Thanks for the help. I didn't see the Aim Assist Offset script added to the BoxerJoe. I made some tweaks to my AI and added that Aim Assist Offset script and it worked.
