How to save position of camera
I have a third person camera that can orbit around the player and(when needed) reposition and lock itself behind the player for targeting purposes. I want to make it so when switching from targeting to orbit the camera will keep the position and not snap back to the orbit position it had.
void UpdatePosition()
{
if(!Targeting2.Instance.isTargeting)
{
var posX = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.x, desiredPosition.x, ref velX, X_Smooth);
var posY = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.y, desiredPosition.y, ref velY, Y_Smooth);
var posZ = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.z, desiredPosition.z, ref velZ, X_Smooth);
position = new Vector3(posX, posY, posZ);
transform.position = position;
transform.LookAt(TargetLookAt);
}
else if(Targeting2.Instance.isTargeting)
{
var posX = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.x, desiredPosition.x, ref velX, X_TSmooth);
var posY = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.y, desiredPosition.y, ref velY, Y_TSmooth);
var posZ = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.z, desiredPosition.z, ref velZ, X_TSmooth);
position = new Vector3(posX, posY, posZ);
transform.position = position;
transform.LookAt(TargetLookAt);
}
}
Can't you just save the position to a variable, and then when you need to snap back just set the position to the variable.
Somewhere (not in the snippet you have) you are computing desiredPosition. For orbit, it's probably based on an orbit-angle variable.
When you switch into Orbit mode, also reset that angle to 0 (or whatever number means forwards.)
if(Targeting2.Instance.isTargeting) desiredPosition = Player.transform.TransformPoint(0, 15, -20); else desiredPosition = CalculatePosition(mouseY, mouseX, Distance);
This is what I have for calculating desiredPosition. So what your saying I should do is make desiredPosition reset to the istargeting position whenever I switch over. I have tried setting the desiredPosition just before I calculate it but is doesn't seem to work It still goes back to the old position.
"setting the desiredPosition just before I calculate it...goes back to the old position": Right. It's recomputed each frame from mouseX and mouseY, so those are what they reset.
