Attaching camera to instantiated object
Hello everyone! I'm absolutely stumped. I spawn a player into the game along with a camera and a few blocks, but I can't fathom at all how to get that camera to follow the character once it's been spawned. I attempt to attach a camera to the spawn using the AddComponent method, which loads the camera into the scene absolutely fine. It's just the tracking I can't figure out. Any insight would be most appreciated!
var playerPrefab:transform;
var target:Transform;
var cam:Camera;
function Start() {
target = Instantiate (playerPrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
cam = gameObject.AddComponent(Camera);
}
function Update() {
// Presumably camera controls go in here such as lookat(target)?
}
Thanks very much!
The simplest $$anonymous$$ouseOrbit can be found in the standard assets- have a look at that. You're on the right track, but you should have a look at the way things work in the example projects as a guide to how you put your own stuff together.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'll get researching. Cheers!
The code in most camera scripts has its own target variable, and is set to track that transform. All you have to do is take a pre-existing camera (you could create one in the code, but why bother?) and change that target var:
// your spawn line:
target = Instantiate(plyrPF, transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as Transform;
// tell camera to track it:
cam.GetComponenent<camScript>().target = target;
