Smooth change of camera position goes wrong
have this code to smoothly change the camera position:
public GameObject MyCam;
public float strength;
Vector3 cameraPosition = new Vector3(22.44445f, -3, 4.542897f);
MyCam.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, cameraPosition, strength);
however it sends my camera to absolutely different position(for example, 3.008285,-9.02228,-12.27002) - I read that it depends some from the 3rd parameter (strength in my case, I tested it setting from 0,001 and up to 10 - and still not wanted result)
Lerp is the short form of Linear Interpolation.Its used to linearly interpolate between two values,in this case two vector points.
Syntax of lerp for Vector3 is
Vector3.Lerp(Vector_One,Vector_Two,LerpValue)
The lerp value ranges from 0 to 1. No use in giving 10 or 100.
1) If lerp value is zero result is Vector_One.
2) If lerp value is one then result is Vector_Two.
3) If Lerp is 0.5f then result is in between Vector_One and Vector_Two
4) Lerp value should vary from 0 to one inorder to get the smooth transition
public GameObject MyCam;
public float strength=0.0f;
Vector3 InitialPosition;
Vector3 FinalPosition;
void Start()
{
InitialPosition=transform.position;
FinalPosition=new Vector3(22.44445f, -3, 4.542897f);
}
void Update()
{
if(strength<1.0f)
{
strength+=Time.deltatime;
}
MyCam.transform.position=Vector3.Lerp(InitialPosition,FinalPosition,strength);
}
thanks for reply, it became smooth but I still don't understand why position of the camera in the end(when strength is 1 - 22.44445, -12.55874, 5.470654) is absolutely different from FinalPosition(22.44445f, -3, 4.542897f). The only axis that works correctly is X - it remains 22.44445f
