LookAt(Transform, Vector3)
Rotates the transform so the forward vector points at target's current position.
public void LookAt(Transform target, Vector3 worldUp)
Parameters
Remarks
Then it rotates the transform to point its up direction vector in the direction determined by the parameter. If you leave out the parameter, the function will use the world y axis. The up vector of the rotation will only match the vector if the forward direction is perpendicular to .
