Sniper zoom
i made a sniper, i can right click and it zooms in, then i let go and it zooms out
but i want it to have like a screen where only that zooms in more like
i think i have to have a plane, and then add something to that plane that shows an image from something else
You must use a second camera childed to the weapon to show the zoomed image (set Field of View to a small angle - 15 to 30 - to zoom).
If you have Pro, you can assign a RenderTexture to this camera's targetTexture property, what will make the second camera render to this texture. The RenderTexture can be assigned to a new material, and this material used to "paint" the scope (that's probably the way it's done in the linked video).
If you don't have Pro, you can set the second camera's pixelRect property to a small square in the center of the screen (set the camera's depth to 1 to draw over the main camera) and draw the scope body over it with GUI.DrawTexture:
In this case, the scope body is a 308x308 PNG texture with transparency (see credit and reference at the page foot), and the center area can hold a camera image of 196x196 pixels. You can bring the weapon to the aim position and enable the camera and texture drawing with something like this:
var texScope: Texture; // drag the scope image here
var scopeCam: Camera; // drag the scope camera here
var rCamera = Rect(0, 0, 196, 196);
var rScope = Rect(0, 0, 308, 308);
var enableAim: boolean = false; // set enableAim to true to aim
function OnGUI(){
if (enableAim){
rCamera.x = (Screen.width - rCamera.width)/2; // center rCamera
rCamera.y = (Screen.height - rCamera.height)/2;
rScope.x = (Screen.width - rScope.width)/2; // center rScope
rScope.y = (Screen.height - rScope.height)/2;
scopeCam.pixelRect = rCamera;
scopeCam.enabled = true;
GUI.DrawTexture(rScope, texScope, ScaleMode.ScaleToFit, true, 0);
}
else {
scopeCam.enabled = false;
}
}
function Update(){
enableAim = Input.GetMouseButton(1); // aim while the right mouse button is pressed
}
CREDIT/REFERENCE: The scope image above was captured from the game EliteSquad (2nd linked video), created by leonardotry, and edited to make transparent the undesired areas. You can download it for testing purposes - (click here to download the image).
"thanks but this is for pixelrect, could you show me how to do the rendertexture, ive been looking for it for a while (i have pro)":
Well, I don't have Pro, so I've never tested Render Textures, but the docs give a recipe (here) that I adapted a little to your case:
1- Create a new Render Texture asset using Assets->Create->Render Texture;
2- Create the scope camera and child it to the weapon;
3- Assign the Render Texture to the Target Texture of the scope Camera;
4- Create a quad and child it to the weapon (this will be the scope lens);
5- Drag the Render Texture onto it to create a $$anonymous$$aterial that uses the render texture.
6- Click Play: the scope camera should draw on the quad whatever it sees.
Hope this works fine (even because I can't help further without a Pro).
wow didn't know it can be that easy, ... thanks @aldonaletto +1
