Rotating Camera around Player's X-axis while rotating Player around its Y-axis (using mouse input)
Dear community,
I have been trying to implement a third-person experience to learn Unity development. To get to the point:
I have the following structure within the Player GameObject:
Structure (3d shapes)
Colliders (Colliders from Structure copied over, but with 'Is Trigger' false)
Main Camera
So the camera 'follows' the Player as it's a child of it.
Now for the Rotation code:
public float sensitivityX = 15F;
public float sensitivityY = 15F;
public float minimumX = -360F;
public float maximumX = 360F;
public float minimumY = 20F;
public float maximumY = -20F;
float rotationY;
Camera Camera;
void Start()
{
Cursor.visible = false;
Camera = GetComponentInChildren<Camera>();
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
float rotationX = transform.localEulerAngles.y + Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivityX;
float newRotationY = this.rotationY + Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivityY;
newRotationY = Mathf.Clamp(newRotationY, minimumY, maximumY);
float rotationY = this.rotationY - newRotationY;
this.rotationY = newRotationY;
Camera.transform.RotateAround(transform.position, new Vector3(1, 0, 0), rotationY);
transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(0, rotationX, 0);
}
I borrowed some code from here, but what happens now is that the Camera moves around the Z-Axis aswell and I can't figure out why. What I would want to happen is that the Camera only rotates around the Player's X-axis using the rotationY value and that the Player only rotates around its own Y-axis.
Commenting out either rotation works fine by itself, but combining them results in interesting rotations...
Thanks in advance for any help!
