anticipation

/* Written by Cassius Adams for the Super Space Trooper video game. http://www.SuperSpaceTrooper.com */
// Find the distance between weapon and Player so we can anticipate where Player will be
distance = Vector3.Distance(player.transform.position, transform.position);
 
// Divide distance by weaponSpeed to see how long it will take to get from Enemy to Player
var travelTime = distance / (Mathf.Abs(weaponSpeed) + playerSpeed);
 
// Multiply the amount of time by the speed the Player moves at
var futurePosition = travelTime * playerSpeed;
 
// Assign the new location that we want to point the weapons towards
var newLocation = Vector3(player.transform.position.x, player.transform.position.y, player.transform.position.z + futurePosition);
 
// Look at and dampen the rotation
var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(newLocation - transform.position);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotation, Time.deltaTime * damping);
