How would I make on Kinematic body face another kinematic.body in a 3d space? and How would I apply gravity to another kinematic body with AI? Here’s some code I have from another user:
func _physics_process(delta):
var to_player = translation.direction_to(player.translation)
move_and_slide(to_player * speed)
but gravity doesn’t work and neither does the rotation. He just faces one way. Anybody know what top do?
Try the look_at and look_at_from_position functions. They do pretty much what you’re asking for. E.g. look_at(player.global_transform.origin, Vector3(0,1,0)). The second parameter is the up vector.

I’ll test it out and see if it works! It looks like it should just by reading it! Thanks!

He’s facing towards me! Only one problem, he can look down and up too, resulting in his whole body tilting when I just want him to just stay locked as straight up and down on the x axis. how to I fix that? Also, thanks for the code. It helped a lot.

Use only x and z in the look at and replace the y with your “own” y then it’ll look “level”.
look_at(Vector3(player.global_transform.origin.x, global_transform.origin.y, player.global_transform.origin.z), Vector3(0,1,0))
But how do you imagine gravity with AI in your game? Does the gravity have a life on its own?
Basic gravity (without using RigidBodies and physics) would probably work by getting the current y-velocity by comparing the bodies previous (physics frame) origin with the current origin. Then add a constant value to that y-velocity and add it as y-component to the next move_and_slide

The rotation problem fix freaking worked @wobatstampede ! I don’t know how to add the gravity thing to the move and slide, where do I do that in the values? Also thank you for helping me with the rotation problem!

Gravity usually let’s things move down. So in direction -y.
So add some downward y-value to your move_and_slide target. This is i.e. by adding some Vector3(0,-down_speed,0).
Like I said, for a start you might want to compare the transform.origin.y with the origin.y of the previous physics frame (save it in some variable) and then increase it with some fixed value.

Thanks! Everything works now!
