Camera Follow Target(Smooth Follow)

Can someone make me a very simple camera follow target script? Or at least link me to where i can make my own. I tried using smooth follow but i dont like the rotation of it and dont know how to change it.

Noob.

 

dont have time to make a exemple right now, but the docs do inlcuded a basic version of what you want.
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.SmoothDamp.html

 

I found some
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=unity+camera+follow+tutorial

 

I appreciate your humor but none of those youtube videos helped. They all used smoothfollow. And some were for 2d games.

Noob.

 

I will try what you gave and report back.

Yea sure Google entry NR4 http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/unity3d-third-person-cameras--mobile-11230
Not for 2D and not using the unity smoothfollow script. 5 Seconds of search....
Good luk with your try

 

Alright thanks. I will report back.

Code (CSharp):

1. //SmoothFollow.cs
2. //C#
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using System.Collections;
5.  
6. public class SmoothFollow : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     public Transform target;        //GameObject that we should follow
9.     public float distance;            //how far back?
10.     public float maxDriftRange;        //how far are we allowed to drift from the target position
11.     public float angleX;            //angle to pitch up on top of the target
12.     public float angleY;            //angle to yaw around the target
13.    
14.     private Transform m_transform_cache;    //cache for our transform component
15.     private Transform myTransform
16.     {//use this instead of transform
17.         get
18.         {//myTransform is guarunteed to return our transform component, but faster than just transform alone
19.             if (m_transform_cache == null)
20.             {//if we don't have it cached, cache it
21.                 m_transform_cache = transform;
22.             }
23.             return m_transform_cache;
24.         }
25.     }
26.    
27.     //this runs when values are changed in the inspector
28.     void OnValidate()
29.     {
30.         if (target != null)
31.         {//we have a target, move the camera to target position for preview purposes
32.             Vector3 targetPos = GetTargetPos();
33.             //update position
34.             myTransform.position = targetPos;
35.             //look at our target
36.             myTransform.LookAt(target);
37.         }
38.     }
39.    
40.     //this runs every frame, directly after Update
41.     void LateUpdate()
42.     {//use this so that changes are immediate after the object has been affected
43.    
44.         Vector3 targetPos = GetTargetPos();
45.         //calculate drift theta
46.         float t = Vector3.Distance(myTransform.position, targetPos) / maxDriftRange;
47.        
48.         //smooth camera position using drift theta
49.         myTransform.position = Vector3.Lerp(myTransform.position, targetPos, t * Time.deltaTime);
50.         //look at our target
51.         myTransform.LookAt(target);
52.     }
53.    
54.     void OnDrawGizmos()
55.     {//this is for editor purpose only, shows the relationship between this script and target as a line
56.         Gizmos.color = Color.yellow;
57.         Gizmos.DrawLine(myTransform.position, target.position);
58.     }
59.    
60.     private Vector3 GetTargetPos()
61.     {//returns where the camera should aim to be
62.         //opposite of (-forward) * distance
63.         Vector3 targetPos = new Vector3(0, 0, -distance);
64.         //calculate pitch and yaw
65.         targetPos = Quaternion.Euler(angleX, angleY, 0) * targetPos;
66.         //return angled target position relative to target.position
67.         return target.position + (target.rotation * targetPos);
68.     }
69. }
70.  

This script is smoother than some things I can think of! lol >.>

 

Thanks will report back
