    Class LookAtComponent

    Orients a SceneObject towards a target SceneObject.

    // Switches through LookAt targets in a list on each tap
    //@input Component.LookAtComponent lookAt
    //@input SceneObject[] targets

    var targetIndex = 0;

    script.createEvent("TapEvent").bind(function(eventData)
    {
    	if(script.targets.length > 0)
    	{
    		targetIndex = (targetIndex + 1) % script.targets.length;
    		script.lookAt.target = script.targets[targetIndex];
    	}
    });

    // Set aimVectors to [-Z Aim, Y Up]
    // (Useful for aiming the camera since it faces towards -Z)
    //@input Component.LookAtComponent lookAt
    script.lookAt.aimVectors = LookAtComponent.AimVectors.NegativeZAimYUp;

    Properties

    aimVectors: AimVectors

    The "aim" and "up" vectors used when determining rotation. LookAtComponent will try to point the Aim axis of the SceneObject towards the target, while keeping the Up axis of the SceneObject pointing towards worldUpVector.

    LookAtComponent.AimVectors.XAimYUp
    enabled: boolean

    If disabled, the Component will stop enacting its behavior.

    true
    isBeingDestroyed: boolean

    Returns true if this Component is currently being destroyed. Becomes true as soon as destruction begins via Component#destroy or destruction of its owning SceneObject, before any OnDestroyEvent callbacks fire.

        // Component is still fully alive
    }
    isEnabledInHierarchy: boolean

    Returns true if this Component, its SceneObject, and all of that SceneObjects parents are enabled.

    lookAtMode: LookAtMode

    Controls the method of rotation being used.

    LookAtComponent.LookAtMode.LookAtPoint
    offsetRotation: quat

    Adds an additional rotation offset.

    target: SceneObject

    The SceneObject this LookAtComponent targets.

    worldUpVector: WorldUpVector

    The vector to be considered the "up" vector when determining rotation.

    LookAtComponent.WorldUpVector.SceneY
