Unity: How to move the Camera by a certain amount?
Hello! I am trying to make a dungeon game, sort of like The Binding of Isaac. I am trying to make a script that will move the camera down my a specific amount when the player goes into another room. Right now, I am focusing on the part of the script that will move the camera down when the player enters a room from the top. After looking at many other StackOverflow and questions on the Unity site, the line of code I made that moves the camera down enter a room from the top is Camera.main.transform.position = new Vector3(0, -10, 0);. After this line executes, the camera no longer renders anything except for the set background color. I am also concerned about this line of code because I think that it will not move the camera down by 10 points, but will set it to the position 0, -10, 0, but I'm not sure. I've also tried getting the individual points from the camera ( Camera.main.transform.position.x += 10; for example), but Visual Studio and Unity gives me the error: Unable to get the return values of position.x because they are not variables. I have been trying to figure this out for a very long time and can't for some reason. Thanks!
Either use transform.Translate(0, -10, 0) or transform.position += new Vector3(0, -10,0 );
The reason you can't directly modify the 'x' of the position vector is a bit complicated, but basically when you get the transform.position member variable, you're actually calling a function, and getting a local variable. When you modify that variable, you're only modifying the local version, and unity warns you that it's not doing anything.
