Vertical Camera Orbit
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to get a camera to orbit around an object. It always works horizontally, but I can't get it to work vertically. This is the code that makes it work horizontally only (although jaggy):
using UnityEngine;
public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject player;
public float rotationSpeed;
private Vector3 offset;
void Start()
{
offset = transform.position - player.transform.position;
}
void LateUpdate()
{
Quaternion cameraTurnAngle = Quaternion.AngleAxis(Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * rotationSpeed, Vector3.up);
offset = cameraTurnAngle * offset;
transform.position = player.transform.position + offset;
transform.LookAt(player.transform);
}
}
I tried doing it the same way vertically, but it only works as long as I don't orbit horizontally. If I do that, the camera will rotate around an axis parallel to the object. The horizontal rotation still works in that case though. I feel like I somehow need to take the horizontal rotation into account while doing the vertical rotation, because it needs to be a combination of y and z rotation at that point. How can I do this?
