🧪 Practical Task: "Pursuing Turret with Smooth Aiming"

Goal: Create enemy (turret) behavior that uses all the vector operations covered: Distance, Lerp, Dot Product, and Cross Product.

---

Task Description:

You have:

• A Turret (object A) with its forward direction transform.forward.
• A Player (object B) moving around the scene.

Implement the following mechanics (all in one script Turret.cs):

1. Activation by Distance

The turret starts "asleep". As soon as the player comes within 10 units, the turret activates (starts working).
Use: Vector3.Distance

2. Smooth Rotation Toward the Player

The turret should not rotate instantly. It should smoothly rotate toward the player at a speed of rotationSpeed = 120° per second.
Use: Quaternion.LookRotation + Quaternion.RotateTowards or Vector3.Lerp for direction.

3. Field of View Check (Dot Product)

The turret only fires when the player is within a 90° sector in front of the turret (i.e., the angle between the turret's forward direction and the direction to the player is less than 45° on each side → dot > 0.7).
Use: Vector3.Dot

4. Side Detection (Cross Product)

In debug mode, log to the console whether the player is to the left or to the right of the turret.
Use: Vector3.Cross

5. Shooting (simplified)

If the turret is activated, the player is within the field of view (dot > 0.7), and the distance is < 10 → every 1 second, log "Pew! Pew!" to the console.

Bonus task (optional):

Make a projectile move smoothly from the turret to the player's position using Vector3.Lerp.

Expected result:

You will write a script that demonstrates an understanding of all five vector operations working together. The turret reacts naturally, without sharp rotations, and only fires within the forward-facing sector.

Solution:

• Turret.cs
• Movement for Player can be taken from 04-MonoBehaviour topic. -> PlayerMovement.cs
