Possible To Add Move Functions To Camera?

Question

Hello,

I have a Orthographic camera in my scene, right now, all it does (movement wise) is zoom in and out via the scroll wheel.

Is it possible to add Left, Right, Up, Down functions to the camera too? Maybe even rotation? (< and > keys for rotation?)

I do not want to control the camera movement with the mouse (unless the mouse moves towards the edge of the screen - thus causing the camera to move in that direction -- but this isn't important right now)

Point in the right direction?

Cheers

Figured it out, quite simple really:

transform.Translate(0, Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") * rotateSpeed, 0);
transform.Translate(Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * rotateSpeed, 0, 0);

Thanks anyway.

that's kind of what i'm doing, O.J., but i just have it automatically moving the cam with the Translate function, but that's smart to use inputs.... very smart! 1+

Try this script.

    var speed = 3.0;
var rotateSpeed = 3.0;
function Update ()
    {
        var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
        transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * rotateSpeed, 0);
        var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
        var curSpeed = speed * Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
        controller.SimpleMove(forward * curSpeed);
    }
@script RequireComponent(CharacterController)

Nearly - Two problems though. First one being that it falls (as if it has a rigidbody : gravity) towards the terrain. And the movement is more of a tilt, rather than a move left/right.

Remove the @script RequireComponent(charactercontroller) and that should do it

Tried it - but its still 'rotating' the camera, rather than moving the position. W and S don't even do anything?
