Question by Nelis · Mar 03, 2013 at 12:49 PM · camerajavascriptmovementfollowfixed

Fixed camera on rails.

Hello, I'm trying to find out how I can make a proper camera script. My camera needs to follow an object up, down, left and right. So it can only move on the X and Y axis. I also want to make it so there is a bit of feathering to it. I have looked through Unity Reference but I can't find it. Thank you! -Nelis

You have to code this sort of thing manually and there are endless techniques that can be used to achieve varying results. Here's how to get the camera to follow an object on the X and Y axes to get you started.

 //set this to the object to follow
 public GameObject followObject;
 
 //I recommend moving the camera in the LateUpdate method
 void LateUpdate()
 {
     Vector3 camPos = Camera.main.transform.position;
     camPos.x = followObject.transform.position.x;
     camPos.y = followObject.transform.position.y;
     Camera.main.transform.position = camPos;
 }

EDIT: Attempted java version (I don't use java, there may be mistakes):

 //set this to the object to follow
 var followObject : GameObject;
 
 //I recommend moving the camera in the LateUpdate method
 function LateUpdate()
 {
     var camPos : Vector3 = Camera.main.transform.position;
     camPos.x = followObject.transform.position.x;
     camPos.y = followObject.transform.position.y;
     Camera.main.transform.position = camPos;
 }

There you go (hopefully it's correct).

I'm sorry, but it doesn't work. The camera doesn't move. I'm also getting a 'NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object'

As per the comment, you have to set 'followObject' to the object you want the camera to follow. You can do this via the inspector. It won't work unless you do this.
