aframe-look-at-component

A component for A-Frame to tell an entity to face towards another entity or position. Uses three.js's Object3D .lookAt()

The look-at component defines the behavior for an entity to dynamically rotate or face towards another entity or position. The rotation of the entity will be updated on every tick. The look-at component can take either a vec3 position or a query selector to another entity.

Values

Type Description
selector A query selector indicating another entity to track. If the other entity is moving then the look-at component will track the moving entity.
vec3 An XYZ coordinate. The entity will face towards a static position.
