Turn to Face / Auto Aim
I'm working on a classic style survival horror game - complete with tank controls and fixed cameras. I'm wondering if the Spherecast actions we now have would help in creating a simple auto-aim feature like in early Resident Evil?
Basically, it can be broken down to three stages:
1. Check if an enemy is detected when the aim input is pressed
2. If there is, check which one is closest
3. Run the Player: Turn to Face action
I really don't know how to go about it though. At first I thought about just using triggers, but of course that's no good because triggers wouldn't take into account whether there is a collider between the player and enemy (or which is closest).
Howdy, Stranger!

For something more exact, you may want to rely on scripting - but I'd say it's worth giving a go using Actions.
When aiming, you can run the Physics: Raycast Action to shoot a ray/sphere from e.g. the centre of the Player, in the direction they face. If your ActionList has a GameObject parameter, you can assign that in the Action to have it be assigned to the first-found result.
You can then follow this up with a Character: Turn to face Action, passing in this parameter as the object to face.
