Follow Orbit Camera

Hi! Can you guys help me with some tutorials or samples to start scripting my own Third person follow camera that orbit on X and Y of the mouse input.. i failed to do it with myself.

Please help me!

 

There are standard ones that come with unity in the camera-controller package (I think its the camera controller package).


On a side note, don't override default fonts in threads for no reason... especially with such a terrible one.

 

Well. I know about standard ones that come with unity but i looking for tutorials about making your own camera script from scratch. Thanks for note

If you want to make one yourself look up Polar Coordinates, and Polar Coordinate conversion to Rectangular/Cartesian Coordinates.

 

Try this.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. public Transform target;
4.  
5. float xAxis;
6. float yAxis;
7.  
8. const float distance = 10.0f;
9. const float speed = 5.0f;
10.  
11. void Update {
12.  
13.     xAxis += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * speed;
14.     yAxis  -= Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * speed;
15.  
16.     Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(yAxis, xAxis, 0.0f);
17.  
18.     transform.rotation = rotation; 
19.  
20.     transform.position = target.position + rotation * new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, -distance);
21. }
22.  
23.  

 

^That doesn't work.

This does:

Code (csharp):

1.     public GameObject target;
2.     float radius = 3f, angleX = 0f, angleY = -45f;
3.    
4.     void Update()
5.     {
6.         radius -= Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") * Time.deltaTime * 100f;
7.         angleX += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * Time.deltaTime;
8.         angleY += Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * Time.deltaTime;
9.  
10.         float x = radius * Mathf.Cos(angleX) * Mathf.Sin(angleY);
11.         float z = radius * Mathf.Sin(angleX) * Mathf.Sin(angleY);
12.         float y = radius * Mathf.Cos(angleY);
13.         transform.position = new Vector3(x + target.transform.position.x,
14.                                          y + target.transform.position.y,
15.                                          z + target.transform.position.z);
16.         transform.LookAt(target.transform.position);
17.     }

 

Look again.

 

Thank's alot grizzly WorldArchitect both scripts work , this is exactly what i was looking for! i'll modify it based on my need

 

Enjoy
