Question by Durrsly · Jul 04, 2013 at 09:28 AM · camerarotationrotatehover

Viewmodel/camera rotation when moving

I am creating a first person platformer where the player has full body awareness. The player uses hover skates to move around the map, and I can't figure out how to get the first person body to rotate to simulate the player leaning forward, backwards, etc., as well as the camera rotating left and right when strafing.

Could someone explain how to do this?

I have a camera as a child of my player, and use this script to control it:

 public class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public float rotspeed = 10F;
     public float camUD = 0F;
     float rotYold = 0;
     float rotYnew = 0;
         
     void Update () {
         transform.position = transform.parent.position + new Vector3 (0, 1, 0);        // Keeps camera 1 unit above player
         
         camUD += Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * rotspeed * Time.deltaTime;    // Vertical rotation controlled by mouse up/down
         
         rotYnew = transform.parent.eulerAngles.y;    // Target horizontal rotation matches player horizontal rotation
         rotYold = transform.eulerAngles.y;    // Get current horizontal rotation
         transform.Rotate(0, rotYnew - rotYold, 0);    // Rotate camera horizontally
         
         camUD = Mathf.Clamp (camUD, -60, 60);    // Camera can't rotate vertically farther than 60 degrees
         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(-camUD, transform.eulerAngles.y, 0);    // Rotate camera vertically
     }
 }

You should be able to modify this for rotating your player, but let me know if you need help.
