Question by Hamilcar-games · Jun 12, 2017 at 09:08 AM · camera follow camera movement follow player lateupdate

how to make the camera follow the player only in one axis (the z axis)

im making an endless runner game and i want that the camera follow the player only in z axis

im using the simple "roll a ball" unity tutorial camera script

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class cameramove : MonoBehaviour {

 public GameObject player;


 private Vector3 offset;
 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
     offset = transform.position - player.transform.position;
 }

 // Update is called once per frame
 void LateUpdate () {


     transform.position = player.transform.position+ offset ;

 }

}

so how can i modify it to make the camera follow the player only in the z axis

and i want to ask why they are using lateupdate()

any help will be appreciated ^ ^

A bit too late but if anyone needs the solution, here is one:

 public class CameraController : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour
     {
     
         public GameObject player = null; // You can use [SerializeField] as well
         private Vector3 cameraOffset;
     
         private void Start()
         {
             cameraOffset = transform.position - player.transform.position;
         }
     
         private void LateUpdate()
         {
             Vector3 currentPosition = transform.position;
             currentPosition.z = (cameraOffset + player.transform.position).z;
             transform.position = currentPosition;
         }
     }

how to make the camera follow the player only in one axis (the z axis)
