camera transform not working when getting axis position
I'm trying to constrain my camera position between boundaries but when I call transform.position.x or transform.position.z the camera won't move. Here's the script:
pragma strict
var speed = 20.0; var cam = Camera.mainCamera;
function Update () { var x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") Time.deltaTime speed; var z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") Time.deltaTime speed;
var xPos = cam.transform.position.x; var zPos = cam.transform.position.z;
if(xPos > 2100 && xPos < 5100) { transform.Translate(x, 0, z, Space.World); } }
If I put the translate call before setting the xPos and zPos vars it works, but afterwards the script doesn't work. It makes no sense to me.
Thanks for the help!
I figured it out...apparently since I had the script attached to the camera in the first place I just had to get rid of the "cam" variable declaration and it worked like a charm.
well, I guess the camera's x position is not between 2100 and 5100.. I bet if you get rid of this line : if(xPos > 2100 && xPos < 5100)
it'll work
you should be able to see exactly what the position x is on the camera by keeping an eye on it in the inspector, that should help you set the correct limits
The Camera lies within those bounds...even if i take the if statement out and just have the translate call after the pos var declaration it doesn't do anything. if i put the translate call before the pos var declarations it works...it doesn't make sense
