I have a garage that gives the option for the player to select the car he wants to take to the race, the problem is the camera doesn't attach to the when it's sent.
The follow camera is using the standard unity assets.
Garage code(This code loads the car into the map):
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
public class LoadCharacter : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject[] characterPrefabs;
public Transform spawnPoint;
//public TMP_Text label;
void Start()
{
int selectedCharacter = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("selectedCharacter");
GameObject prefab = characterPrefabs[selectedCharacter];
GameObject clone = Instantiate(prefab, spawnPoint.position, Quaternion.identity);
//label.text = prefab.name;
}
}
Camera code:
using System;
using UnityEngine;
#if UNITY_EDITOR
#endif

}
else

m_CurrentTurnAmount = desiredTurnAmount;
}
}
else
{
m_CurrentTurnAmount = 1;
}
m_LastFlatAngle = currentFlatAngle;
}
// camera position moves towards target position:
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, m_Target.position, deltaTime*m_MoveSpeed);
// camera's rotation is split into two parts, which can have independend speed settings:

This are the cars that the map gets from the selection
This is the follow cam
This is what happens when the player chooses the car, it switches places with an empty object
The only way to follow is if I go in the editor and manually drag the car into the follow
Edit: I found a way to work around it, anyone wondering you just have to make a prefab with the car and camera.

I made a Camera Script that follows the player using a lerp for making it look more smooth, but for some reason, it looks laggy when walking in some sudden areas.
The ground the player is walking on is tilemap, and at first, I thought there were tiny cell gaps that caused the problem, but it still happens even when I changed the ground to one solid block. So I concluded it must be something with Camera Script that cause this problem.
Here is a video clip of what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/mmBMHWuHpxo
I think the problem stems from this part of my camera script:
void SetTargetPos()
{
// By default the target x and y coordinates of the camera are it's current x and y coordinates.
targetX = transform.position.x;
targetY = transform.position.y;
// If the player has moved beyond the x margin...
if (CheckXMargin())
{
// ... the target x coordinate should be a Lerp between the camera's current x position and the player's current x position.
targetX = Mathf.Lerp(transform.position.x, transformPlayer.position.x, xSmooth * Time.deltaTime);
}
// If the player has moved beyond the y margin...
if (CheckYMargin())
{
// ... the target y coordinate should be a Lerp between the camera's current y position and the player's current y position.
targetY = Mathf.Lerp(transform.position.y, transformPlayer.position.y, ySmooth * Time.deltaTime);
}
// The target x and y coordinates should not be larger than the maximum or smaller than the minimum.
targetX = Mathf.Clamp(targetX, currentMinBounds.x, currentMaxBounds.x);
targetY = Mathf.Clamp(targetY, currentMinBounds.y, currentMaxBounds.y);
// Set the camera's position to the target position with the same z component.
transform.position = new Vector3(targetX, targetY, transform.position.z);
TestOutOfCamBounds();
}
Btw I have the exact same script on different Unity Projects with the same variable inputs. There is a small difference, and that just the overall size of everything in the second project is a lot smaller than the first one. But it works completely fine on that project. I have also tried Smoothdamp instead of Lerp, still no success. Here is a video clip of the other project: https://youtu.be/baJmKehYfG0
Any help will be much appreciated.
If you want to look at the entire script here it is:

targetY = Mathf.Clamp(targetY, currentMinBounds.y, currentMaxBounds.y);
// Set the camera's position to the target position with the same z component.
transform.position = new Vector3(targetX, targetY, transform.position.z);
TestOutOfCamBounds();
}
void TestOutOfCamBounds() //Set Camera some boundaries.
{
if (targetPos.x <= currentMinBounds.x)
{
targetPos.x = currentMinBounds.x;
}
if (targetPos.x >= currentMaxBounds.x)
{
targetPos.x = currentMaxBounds.x;

Try doing the call for the cammer movement in Late update, Example bellow.
private void LateUpdate() {
SetTargetPos();
}
This is called after the update method and might help reduce the cammer jitter.
Your second video is 2d and your first is 3d. try lerping the z position also.
targetZ = Mathf.Lerp(transform.position.z, transformPlayer.position.z, zSmooth * Time.deltaTime);
I found a solution to it all!
I changed the update function to LateUpdate()... Sorry for wasting your time
I have a ball on a ground, and when touching the screen I want to shoot it to the X position of the Touch. Do you have any suggestions?
This is the code I have so far:
public Rigidbody Ball;
public float Speed = 50f;
void FixedUpdate () {
if(ClickDone == false){
if (Input.GetMouseButton(0)){
ClickDone = true;
Ball.velocity = transform.forward * Speed;
}
}
}
here is your new code :
using UnityEngine;
public class GoToTouch : MonoBehaviour
{
public Camera cam;//put your main camera here
public float speed;//Speed of movement
Vector3 LastTouch;
void Start()
{
LastTouch = Vector3.zero;
}
void Update()
{
//We check for new touches etch frame
if (Input.touchCount> 0)
LastTouch = Input.touches[0].rawPosition;
//We move towards the last touch
if(LastTouch != Vector3.zero)transform.position=
Vector3.Lerp(transform.position,cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(LastTouch),speed*Time.DeltaTime);
}
}
what is important for you to look at is the
ScreenToWorldPoint function LastTouch holds the actual pixel the user touched
after ScreenToWorldPoint you get the position that the pixel he touched represent in the
world. Good luck learning !
I'm making a game in which the player controls two different characters (each one has its own empty object with a camera as child), and switchs one or another by pressing the control key. The thing is, I'm trying to make a little transition between both characters cameras by using another camera, so it doesn't just teleports between one and another but I can't seem to do it. I tried with lerp but I don't know if I got it right, so I read and tried Vector3.MoveTowards but still couldn't do it. This is my code so far (the while is because a last-moment-braindead I had):
public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour
{
public Camera cam1;
public Camera cam2;
public Camera movingCamera;
public bool isCurrentPlayer;
public Transform target1;
public Transform target2;
public float speed = 0.2f;
void FixedUpdate()
{
float step = speed * Time.deltaTime;
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Control"))
{
if (isCurrentPlayer)
{
movingCamera.enabled = true;
cam2.enabled = false;
while (transform.position != target1.position)
{
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target1.position, step);
}
if (transform.position == target1.transform.position)
{
movingCamera.enabled = false;
cam1.enabled = true;
}
isCurrentPlayer = false;
}
else if (!isCurrentPlayer)
{
movingCamera.enabled = true;
cam1.enabled = false;
while (transform.position != target2.position)
{
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target2.position, step);
}
if (transform.position == target2.transform.position)
{
movingCamera.enabled = false;
cam2.enabled = true;
}
isCurrentPlayer = true;
}
}
}
I'm curious about two things. Why did you use FixedUpdate to manage your updates? This isn't physics code. Is there a particular reason you are using multiple cameras? If I may, I propose the following changes.
You can simply make use of the main camera instead of multiple cameras. Additionally, you can increase the number of player objects you can toggle through by using an array of player GameObjects, and by changing the input parameters to left control and right control, you can toggle between next player and previous player to navigate bi-directionally through the array of players.
Here's my example code that implements these changes (tested and works, though improvements can be made.)
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
// Attached to Main Camera
public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour {
// set manually in inspector
public GameObject[] players;
public float movementSpeed = 1.0f;
public float rotationSpeed = 1.0f;
private int currentPlayer;
private float startTime;
private float distanceToPlayer;
private Vector3 startPosition;
private Quaternion startOrientation;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
currentPlayer = 0;
ResetCamera();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
float distanceCovered;
float rotationCovered;
float fractionTraveled;
// switch to previous
if (Input.GetButtonDown("left ctrl")) {
if (currentPlayer == 0) currentPlayer = players.Length - 1;
else currentPlayer--;
ResetCamera();
}
// switch to nextPlayer
if (Input.GetButtonDown("right ctrl")) {
if (currentPlayer == players.Length - 1) currentPlayer = 0;
else currentPlayer++;
ResetCamera();
}
// Keep moving camera
if (transform.position != players[currentPlayer].transform.position)
{
distanceCovered = (Time.time - startTime) * movementSpeed;
fractionTraveled = distanceCovered / distanceToPlayer;
rotationCovered = (Time.time - startTime) * rotationSpeed;
// Lerp to player position
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(
startPosition,
players[currentPlayer].transform.position,
fractionTraveled
);
// match player orientation
transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(
transform.rotation,
players[currentPlayer].transform.rotation,
rotationCovered
);
// Stop moving camera
} else {
// Match orientation
if (transform.rotation != players[currentPlayer].transform.rotation)
transform.rotation = players[currentPlayer].transform.rotation;
// Set parent transform to current player
transform.parent = players[currentPlayer].transform;
}
}
void ResetCamera() {
transform.parent = null;
startTime = Time.time;
startPosition = transform.position;
startOrientation = transform.rotation;
distanceToPlayer = Vector3.Distance(
transform.position,
players[currentPlayer].transform.position
);
}
}
Obviously the values would need to be tweaked, and the movement algorithm is pretty basic. Crude but function. You can also add player movement code into the camera, just make sure it points to players[currentPlayer] and it will work for each of your player objects without having to use additional scripts unless there is a reason to do so.
Feel free to use this code. Like I said, it works. However, should you choose to do so, it can easily be modified to function like your original code simply by removing the array and reinstating the individual GameObjects.
transform.position points to the position of CameraController game object. If you want to move movingCamera you probably want to use movingCamera.transform.position. Also keep in mind that in your script the MoveTowards() would only fire when you are pressing your "Control" button.
As memBrain said it would be the best practice to use only one camera for this - visually it would look the same.
The script should look something like this:
// Assuming target1 is player 1 and target2 is player 2
private float snapThreshold = 0.1f;
private Vector3 movingCameraDestination = Vector3.zero;
void FixedUpdate()
{
if(Input.GetButtonDown("Control"))
{
if(isCurrentPlayer)
{
//Set position of transition camera to player 1 and set it's destination to player's 2 position
movingCamera.transform.position = player1.position;
movingCameraDestination = player2.position;
//Disable player 1 camera and enable transition camera
cam1.enabled = false;
movingCamera.enabled = true;
}
else
{
//Set position of transition camera to player 21 and set it's destination to player's 1 position
movingCamera.transform.position = player2.position;
movingCameraDestination = player1.position;
//Disable player 1 camera and enable transition camera
cam2.enabled = false;
movingCamera.enabled = true;
}
}
//If transition camera is enabled and its destination is not Vector3.zero - move it
if(movingCameraDestination != Vector3.zero && movingCamera.enabled)
{
movingCamera.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(movingCamera.transform.position, movingCameraDestination, speed * Time.deltaTime);
//If the distance between transition camera and it's destination is smaller or equal to threshold - snap it to destination position
if(Vector3.Distance(movingCamera.transform.position, movingCameraDestination) <= snapThreshold)
{
movingCamera.transform.position = movingCameraDestination;
}
//If transition camera reached it's destination set it's destination to Vector3.zero and disable it
if(movingCamera.transform.position == movingCameraDestination)
{
movingCameraDestination = Vector3.zero;
movingCamera.enabled = false;
}
}
}
I am trying to adjust the FreeLookCam script from the Standard Assets to work with my game, which has a different "world up" than standard unity projects. In my case, world up is -z, and I cannot seem to be able to adjust the script to fit this scenario.
Here is what it look like when I try it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppb-tXvLZpI
and here is the code:
using System;
using UnityEngine;
//using UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput;
namespace UnityStandardAssets.Cameras
{
public class FreeLookCam : PivotBasedCameraRig
{
// This script is designed to be placed on the root object of a camera rig,
// comprising 3 gameobjects, each parented to the next:
// Camera Rig
// Pivot
// Camera
[SerializeField] private float m_MoveSpeed = 1f; // How fast the rig will move to keep up with the target's position.
[Range(0f, 10f)] [SerializeField] private float m_TurnSpeed = 1.5f; // How fast the rig will rotate from user input.
[SerializeField] private float m_TurnSmoothing = 0.0f; // How much smoothing to apply to the turn input, to reduce mouse-turn jerkiness
[SerializeField] private float m_TiltMax = 75f; // The maximum value of the x axis rotation of the pivot.
[SerializeField] private float m_TiltMin = 45f; // The minimum value of the x axis rotation of the pivot.
[SerializeField] private bool m_LockCursor = false; // Whether the cursor should be hidden and locked.
[SerializeField] private bool m_VerticalAutoReturn = false; // set wether or not the vertical axis should auto return
private float m_LookAngle; // The rig's y axis rotation.
private float m_TiltAngle; // The pivot's x axis rotation.
private const float k_LookDistance = 100f; // How far in front of the pivot the character's look target is.
private Vector3 m_PivotEulers;
private Quaternion m_PivotTargetRot;

base.Awake();
// Lock or unlock the cursor.
Cursor.lockState = m_LockCursor ? CursorLockMode.Locked : CursorLockMode.None;
Cursor.visible = !m_LockCursor;
m_PivotEulers = m_Pivot.rotation.eulerAngles;
m_PivotTargetRot = m_Pivot.transform.localRotation;
m_TransformTargetRot = transform.localRotation;
}
protected void Update()
{
HandleRotationMovement();
if (m_LockCursor && Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
{
Cursor.lockState = m_LockCursor ? CursorLockMode.Locked : CursorLockMode.None;
Cursor.visible = !m_LockCursor;
}
}
private void OnDisable()
{
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
Cursor.visible = true;
}
protected override void FollowTarget(float deltaTime)
{
if (m_Target == null) return;
// Move the rig towards target position.
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, m_Target.position, deltaTime*m_MoveSpeed);
}
private void HandleRotationMovement()
{
if(Time.timeScale < float.Epsilon)
return;
// Read the user input
// var x = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Mouse X");
// var y = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Mouse Y");
var x = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
var y = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");
// Adjust the look angle by an amount proportional to the turn speed and horizontal input.
m_LookAngle += x*m_TurnSpeed;
// Rotate the rig (the root object) around Y axis only:
m_TransformTargetRot = Quaternion.Euler(0f, m_LookAngle, 0f);
if (m_VerticalAutoReturn)
{
// For tilt input, we need to behave differently depending on whether we're using mouse or touch input:
// on mobile, vertical input is directly mapped to tilt value, so it springs back automatically when the look input is released
// we have to test whether above or below zero because we want to auto-return to zero even if min and max are not symmetrical.
m_TiltAngle = y > 0 ? Mathf.Lerp(0, -m_TiltMin, y) : Mathf.Lerp(0, m_TiltMax, -y);
}
else
{
// on platforms with a mouse, we adjust the current angle based on Y mouse input and turn speed
m_TiltAngle -= y*m_TurnSpeed;
// and make sure the new value is within the tilt range
m_TiltAngle = Mathf.Clamp(m_TiltAngle, -m_TiltMin, m_TiltMax);
}
// Tilt input around X is applied to the pivot (the child of this object)
// m_PivotTargetRot = Quaternion.Euler(m_TiltAngle, m_PivotEulers.y , m_PivotEulers.z);
m_PivotTargetRot = Quaternion.Euler(m_TiltAngle, m_PivotEulers.y , m_PivotEulers.z);
if (m_TurnSmoothing > 0)
{
m_Pivot.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(m_Pivot.localRotation, m_PivotTargetRot, m_TurnSmoothing * Time.deltaTime);
transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.localRotation, m_TransformTargetRot, m_TurnSmoothing * Time.deltaTime);
}
else
{
m_Pivot.localRotation = m_PivotTargetRot;
transform.localRotation = m_TransformTargetRot;
}
}
}
}
There are two lines you need to change, both in HandleRotationMovement, and they both have to do with swapping the angles for y and z. The first one is on line 83:
// Rotate the rig (the root object) around Y axis only:
m_TransformTargetRot = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, m_LookAngle);
and the second one is on line 101:
// Tilt input around X is applied to the pivot (the child of this object)
m_PivotTargetRot = Quaternion.Euler(m_TiltAngle + 90, m_PivotEulers.z , m_PivotEulers.y);
On that second line I had to add 90 degrees to get the tilt limits in the expected range in addition to swapping the y and z angles.
I'm using the standard camera2DFollow script that comes with Unity 5. But I have a problem with the position of the camera. I've rotated my main camera and it looks like this now.
You see that my player is on top of the screen instead of the middle.
This is the default script in C# for the people who don't have it.
using System;
using UnityEngine;
namespace UnityStandardAssets._2D
{
public class Camera2DFollow : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform target;
public float damping = 1;
public float lookAheadFactor = 3;
public float lookAheadReturnSpeed = 0.5f;
public float lookAheadMoveThreshold = 0.1f;
private float m_OffsetZ;
private Vector3 m_LastTargetPosition;
private Vector3 m_CurrentVelocity;
private Vector3 m_LookAheadPos;
// Use this for initialization
private void Start()
{
m_LastTargetPosition = target.position;
m_OffsetZ = (transform.position - target.position).z;
transform.parent = null;
}
// Update is called once per frame
private void Update()
{
// only update lookahead pos if accelerating or changed direction
float xMoveDelta = (target.position - m_LastTargetPosition).x;
bool updateLookAheadTarget = Mathf.Abs(xMoveDelta) > lookAheadMoveThreshold;
if (updateLookAheadTarget)
{
m_LookAheadPos = lookAheadFactor*Vector3.right*Mathf.Sign(xMoveDelta);
}
else
{
m_LookAheadPos = Vector3.MoveTowards(m_LookAheadPos, Vector3.zero, Time.deltaTime*lookAheadReturnSpeed);
}
Vector3 aheadTargetPos = target.position + m_LookAheadPos + Vector3.forward*m_OffsetZ;
Vector3 newPos = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, aheadTargetPos, ref m_CurrentVelocity, damping);
transform.position = newPos;
m_LastTargetPosition = target.position;
}
}
}
I want to change the Y to a +3 of the current position. So if my camera is on Y 2 than put it on Y 5. (This makes it so the player is in the middle and not on the top).
Thanks for the help!
You can do this by adding 3 to the camera's position at the end of each frame but I recommend against it.
What I would do, is create an empty object, name it "PlayerCameraCenter" and make the player parent to this object; then place the camera center wherever you want relative to the player, like y = 3, and make the camera follow this object instead of the player.
This way you can easily change the position of the camera, through the editor without fiddling with code.
