Question by Alsador · Oct 11, 2015 at 03:04 PM · cameraplayercamera-movementy-axisholding

How can I keep a player inside the camera box? [C#]

So I would basically like to keep a moving object to stay inside the camera box but I don't want the camera to follow this object, Id like it so that the camera is moving along the Y axis and the object can be moved freely within the camera view? How could i achieve this?

camera.ViewportToWorldPoint allows you to transform screen co-ordinates to world co-ordinates. Try using that to keep the character within the bounds of the screen http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera.ViewportToWorldPoint.html

Still having some trouble getting the camera to actually move, sadly. :(

Alternatively you can get the frustum planes from the camera : http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GeometryUtility.CalculateFrustumPlanes.html

Have a good day

I appreciate the help, but i have figured it out! Wanted to keep it simple, so i came up with this.

 public class CameraTracksPLayer : MonoBehaviour {
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
         float camUp = Time.deltaTime * 5;
 
         transform.Translate (0, camUp, 0, Camera.main.transform);
     }
 
 }

I just added box colliders around the camera to restrict the player from moving out of it.
