Is there a way to get a kinematicbody to always face the camera like the billboarding feature on Sprite3D?
I'm trying to make a 3d fps game with 2d graphics but I can't figure out how to make the colisions face the camera while the sprite looks at it.

In this case you rotate the KinematicBody towards the camera itself, the billboarding is just an effect I think so it doesn't effect the transform rotation of the sprite.

Here's a thread I made awhile ago asking about this, had the same problem myself, but I was just looking for rotating my nodes generally without relying on look_at() as it would bork certain axis like Y which I didn't want changed.

    I can't figure out using this as I'm not sure what atan2() is and it also uses velocity rather than just where the camera is. Could you help translate to my circumstance?

      Actually hang on, there's an even simpler solution, what you could do is use look_at() and disable the angular Y in the inspector if all you want to do is rotate the KinematicBody a certain way.

        I can't seem to find an angular y option in the kinematicbody inspector (I'm using 3.5 if that's relevant)
        Also how would I get the camera to look_at()? The camera is on a different scene so I'm not sure how to find it through this node

          My bad, it's because you're using a KinematicBody and I used the wrong name, there's an option in Rigidbody called Angular lock. I think though if you switch to rigidbody this method will work well if all you want to do is rotate and move around the characters Doom 1 style.

          1:55 for relevant information.

          Oh as for getting the camera in another scene I'm actually not sure on that one, I'm not 100% sure why you would do that in the first place, shouldn't you have two cameras in each scene? Would have thought the only one necessary for that is a player unless you're doing something special I don't know about.

            Thanks, I'll change to rigidbody. I need the camera in order for the rigidbody to know where to face, but the enemy would be a scene that gets instance after the game starts, and the camera would be in the player scene. Do you know if I could do something like "get_scene().find_node("Player")"?

              Don't use find to get the string of a node, use groups instead or some other method, this is what I do when I want to grab a node globally.

              Peudo Code Example:

              var playerCameraGroup = get_tree().get_nodes_in_group("PlayerCamera")
var playerCamera = PlayerCameraGroup[0]

                Sorry to keep bothering you but the angular lock isn't doing anything. I've tried to lock each of the different locks individually and the look at function still rotates in every direction no matter what. Any ideas?

                    Godont Can you show me your hierarchy setup when you've got the chance?

                        Lethn

                        this is the hierarchy and this is the code:

                        extends RigidBody

onready var player = get_tree().get_nodes_in_group("Player").back()

func _process(delta):
	look_at(player.translation, Vector3.UP)
