Question by Xatoku · Feb 25, 2011 at 01:20 AM · cameraviewblocking

Camera View Block

So my camera DOES indeed have a viewblock which works perfectly (stops the camera from seeing through objects), but the problem I'm having is this. My character has a sword attack where he spins in a circle and slashes. The problem is, because the camera is parented to the character, not the sword, it will zoom into the character (for about a frame) when the sword gets too close to the camera. Any tips? Scipt:

var target : Transform; var targetHeight = 2.0; var distance = 2.8; var maxDistance = 34; var minDistance = 34; var xSpeed = 250.0; var ySpeed = 120.0; var yMinLimit = -40; var yMaxLimit = 80; var zoomRate = 20; var rotationDampening = 50; private var x = 0.0; private var y = 0.0;

@script AddComponentMenu("Camera-Control/WoW Camera")

function Start () { var angles = transform.eulerAngles; x = angles.y; y = angles.x;

// Make the rigid body not change rotation if (rigidbody) rigidbody.freezeRotation = true; }

function LateUpdate () { if(!target) return;

// If either mouse buttons are down, let them govern camera position if (Input.GetMouseButton(0) || (Input.GetMouseButton(1))){ x += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") xSpeed 0.02; y -= Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") ySpeed 0.02;

// otherwise, ease behind the target if any of the directional keys are pressed } else if(Input.GetAxis("Vertical") || Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")) { var targetRotationAngle = target.eulerAngles.y; var currentRotationAngle = transform.eulerAngles.y; x = Mathf.LerpAngle(currentRotationAngle, targetRotationAngle, rotationDampening * Time.deltaTime); }

distance -= (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") Time.deltaTime) zoomRate * Mathf.Abs(distance); distance = Mathf.Clamp(distance, minDistance, maxDistance);

y = ClampAngle(y, yMinLimit, yMaxLimit);

// ROTATE CAMERA: var rotation:Quaternion = Quaternion.Euler(y, x, 0); transform.rotation = rotation;

// POSITION CAMERA: var position = target.position - (rotation Vector3.forward distance + Vector3(0,-targetHeight,0)); transform.position = position;

 // IS VIEW BLOCKED?
 var hit : RaycastHit; 
 var trueTargetPosition : Vector3 = target.transform.position - Vector3(0,-targetHeight,0);
 // Cast the line to check:
 if (Physics.Linecast (trueTargetPosition, transform.position, hit)) {  
     // If so, shorten distance so camera is in front of object:
     var tempDistance = Vector3.Distance (trueTargetPosition, hit.point) - 0.28; 
     // Finally, rePOSITION the CAMERA:
     position = target.position - (rotation * Vector3.forward * tempDistance + Vector3(0,-targetHeight,0)); 
     transform.position = position; 
 }

}

static function ClampAngle (angle : float, min : float, max : float) { if (angle < -360) angle += 360; if (angle > 360) angle -= 360; return Mathf.Clamp (angle, min, max);

}

You could use layers to exclude your sword from the Raycast.

Could you give me an example? Im fairly new to this.

Look at he reference for layers (link above). There is a description how to set up a Player layer and also a JavaScript example how to use the layer mask with a Raycast.
