# LookAtConstraint

> Constrains the orientation of a GameObject based on the position of one or more sources.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Animations](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/animations.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.AnimationModule
* **Inherits from:** [Behaviour](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/behaviour.md)
* **Implements:** [IConstraint](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/animations/iconstraint.md)

```csharp
[RequireComponent(typeof(Transform))]
public sealed class LookAtConstraint : Behaviour, IConstraint
```

## Remarks

This constraint is similar to [AimConstraint](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/animations/aimconstraint.md) but is meant for constraining a [Camera](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/camera.md). Use this constraint to point a [Camera](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/camera.md) towards other sources. You can also adjust the weight of each source to influence whether the [Camera](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/camera.md) points more towards one source over another source.

Make sure you use `LookAtConstraint` properties to align the orientation of the constraint. Otherwise, the constrained [Camera](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/camera.md) might point in the wrong direction.

Refer to [Look At Constraint Component](/engine/6000.5/manual/working-with-gameobjects/unity-components/constraint-components/class-look-at-constraint.md) for more details.

## Examples

```csharp
// This example uses a LookAtConstraint to point a GameObject towards two sources. 
// The first source has a greater influence than the second source based on their assigned weight.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Animations;

public class LookAtExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform sourceA;
    public Transform sourceB;
    private LookAtConstraint m_LookAtConstraint;

    void Start()
    {
        m_LookAtConstraint = gameObject.AddComponent<LookAtConstraint>();

        ConstraintSource source1 = new ConstraintSource { sourceTransform = sourceA, weight = 0.6f };
        ConstraintSource source2 = new ConstraintSource { sourceTransform = sourceB, weight = 0.4f };

        m_LookAtConstraint.AddSource(source1);
        m_LookAtConstraint.AddSource(source2);

        m_LookAtConstraint.constraintActive = true;
    }
}
```
