Camera to rotate around object as well as follow it at the same time.
I know there might be a simple way of doing this. But ive been killing myself the last couple days to figure it out. So what I basically need if for my camera to rotate around an object when i press The left arrow key or the right arrow key. That was simple, the hard part was how can i make it also follow the object at a certain distance. Because when I use the 2 scripts together, my object just goes wild and moves in all places. If there is a simple way to use this, please help me. And also my object is a RigidBody so it does a lot of rolling around and such.
This is my rotating script. Now how can I use this and also make the camera follow my objects movement.
function Update()
{
for (var touch : Touch in Input.touches)
{
if (rightrot.guiTexture.HitTest (touch.position))
{
// rotate left
transform.RotateAround (target.transform.position, Vector3.up, 7 * Time.deltaTime);
}
if (leftrot.guiTexture.HitTest (touch.position))
{
// rotate left
transform.RotateAround (target.transform.position, -Vector3.up, 7 * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
}
unity gives you an orbit script. search for many many camera scripts of every description
Still looking for an answer, it would be greatly Appreciated.
Hi There.
Please don't post comments as answers. Post comments by clicking the [add new comment] button, a window then open for you to type in. Answer fields are for answers only, as this is a knowledge base.
You can convert this answer to a comment (or just edit your original question), you'll also get a better chance of getting an actual answer if the main list shows none or one answer in blue =]
also, I edited your code formatting in the question
A basic one would be to assign your camera's position as the position of the object you want to follow then add a suitable offset.
find the difference between the target and the camera :
var diff = target.transform.position - camera.transform.position;
normalize it :
diff = diff.normalized;
multiply it by the distance required :
diff *= cameraDistance;
add this to the target position :
diff += target.transform.position
make this the position of the camera :
camera.transform.position = diff;
