Camera Zoom script stops ability to pan
Hi guys sorry if this question seems noobish. I'm trying to get a camera script working. My game is a 3d top down and I want to be able to pan around the camera while being able to zoom in and out smoothly within a range. I got the panning to work fine but when I put the zoom functions in, the panning stops working. PS. Not sure if it matters the camera is child of the player object just so it can be a reference point to the zoom range.
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;Blockquote
public class CameraZoom2 : MonoBehaviour { public float moveSpeed= 60.0f; public float distance; private float sensitivityDistance = 50f; private float damping = 2.5f; private float min = 10; private float max = 50; private Vector3 ydistance;
void Start () { distance = -10f; distance = transform.localPosition.y; }
void Update () { //Camera Movement var x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") Time.deltaTime moveSpeed; var y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") Time.deltaTime moveSpeed; transform.Translate(x, y, 0); //Camera Zoom distance -= Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") sensitivityDistance; distance = Mathf.Clamp(distance, min, max); ydistance.y = Mathf.Lerp(transform.localPosition.y, distance, Time.deltaTime damping); transform.localPosition = ydistance; } } Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks
$$anonymous$$aybe you are overwriting the camera position with this script.
I think its better to use the camera FieldOfView for zoo$$anonymous$$g in/out.
Basically what @$$anonymous$$ said. If the camera is orthographic (which i assume it is since you are making a topdown game) then you can manipulate it's orthographicSize
I can't use FOV because I want it to be 3d. I've tried FOV and when you get far away it stretches everything. Also yeah I think my camera zoom is fixed and overwriting something I just cant figure out how to reword it because I'm still very new to coding.
I'm trying to get the camera to move on xyz with lerp and clamp basically.
I figured it out. I'm not sure if this is the most practical way but I decided to make the camera the child of another empty object and I assigned the movement script to that empty object.
