2d camera movement
I want to have a threshold where the camera wont move until the object being tracked goes beyond a certain value. My pseudo code looks like this:
var thresholdX = 5;
var thresholdY = 5;
function Update(){
if(target.position.x > thresholdX){
//do the lerp transition
transform.position.x = Mathf.Lerp(transform.position.x, target.transform.position.x + 20, Time.deltaTime);
}
The problem is it's only applying the transition in one frame. Is there any other way I could achieve this? Something like path based camera.
Instead of allways lerping to a certain amount, why not just clamp the camera? It might be a bit jolty, but you can allways apply smoothing form there.
//Instead of Lerp, use clamp
//This is just for moving along the X axis, similarly it would have to be done for other axis
transform.position.x = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x, target.position.x + thresholdX, target.position - thresholdX);
Hope this helps, Benproductions1
But that's not the problem for me, the logic itself is flawed.
Sorry, my code was incorrect, but it should do exactly what you described in the firsts paragraph
Just put the two together :
//do the lerp transition
transform.position.x = $$anonymous$$athf.Lerp(transform.position.x, target.transform.position.x + 20, Time.deltaTime);
// clamp the x to between preset values
transform.position.x = $$anonymous$$athf.Clamp(transform.position.x, target.position.x + thresholdX, target.position - thresholdX);
