Bug Camera position not updating

Unity Information:

• 2020.1.5f1 Personal
• Universal Render Pipeline

I have a script which is attached to the main camera object. I found that updating the position does not update the camera position. To test it wasn't me I left the update method as the following and it still does not update.

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update()
2.     {
3.         Camera.main.transform.position = Camera.main.transform.position + Vector3.left;
4.     }

The console isn't showing any errors and the breakpoints are being hit.
As I was typing this I had a thought to change the position while playing in the inspector. When changed, it automatically flips back to the original position.

**Turned out the default camera created with the "Universal Render Pipeline" has a "simple camera controller" which was causing the issue.

 

Do you have any animations on the camera? Animations will override scripting.

Make a blank scene and put the above on the camera... it should go FLYING off to the left at extremely high speed. If you do not have objects in the scene, there will be no visible change, since the skybox is infinitely far away, obviously.

 

Turned out the default camera created with the "Universal Render Pipeline" has a "simple camera controller" which was causing the issue. I removed the script and all was good. Not sure why it's part of the default camera for new projects. I'll have to read up on why it's there, but for now it's gone .

 

Good to know. I hadn't used this yet so I shall keep it in mind for the future. Thanks for followup.

 

Try doing camera works in LateUpdate......see if it works or not

 

@RDX65, I'll give it a crack in the morning (from a template new build). **edit** it's installing now, will be able to tell you in about 15 minutes.

 

I just tried with the same logic in the original question attached to the main camera. It failed.

Again fixed if I remove the simple camera controller.
