Camera that target gameobject with Tag "Player"

Hello!

I have a game that create a clone car in each level, so i can´t put the main camera to target this object because they can change (they can be different game objects).. Someone can give me the simple code to do this?

I already have in c# the script that follow the car, but i can´t define a target because the target change... I just can work with the tag os the target, that in this case is "player".

Actual script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class SmoothFollow2D : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     private Vector3 velocity = Vector3.zero;
7.     public Transform target;
8.  
9.     // Update is called once per frame
10.     void Update ()
11.     {
12.         if (target)
13.         {
14.             Vector3 point = camera.WorldToViewportPoint(target.position);
15.             Vector3 delta = target.position - camera.ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(0.2f, .43f, point.z)); //(new Vector3(0.5, 0.5, point.z));
16.             Vector3 destination = transform.position + delta;
17.             transform.position = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, destination, ref velocity, 0);
18.         }
19.      
20.     }
21. }

 

You can do this :

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. public class SmoothFollow2D : MonoBehaviour {
4.  
5.     private Camera camera;
6.     private Vector3 velocity = Vector3.zero;
7.     public Transform target;
8.  
9.     void Start()
10.     {
11.         camera = GetComponent<Camera>();
12.         target = GetTargetByTag("Player");
13.     }
14.  
15.     // Update is called once per frame
16.     void Update ()
17.     {
18.         if (target)
19.         {
20.             Vector3 point = camera.WorldToViewportPoint(target.position);
21.             Vector3 delta = target.position - camera.ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(0.2f, .43f, point.z));
22.             Vector3 destination = transform.position + delta;
23.             transform.position = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, destination, ref velocity, 0);
24.         }
25.  
26.     }
27.  
28.     /// <summary>
29.     /// Changes the target.
30.     /// </summary>
31.     /// <param name="_target">_target.</param>
32.     void ChangeTarget(Transform _target)
33.     {
34.         target = _target;
35.     }
36.  
37.     /// <summary>
38.     /// Gets the target by tag.
39.     /// </summary>
40.     /// <param name="_tag">_tag.</param>
41.     void GetTargetByTag(string _tag)
42.     {
43.         GameObject obj = GameObject.FindWithTag(_tag);
44.         if(obj)
45.         {
46.             ChangeTarget(obj.transform);
47.         }
48.         else
49.         {
50.             Debug.Log("Cant find object with tag "+ _tag);
51.         }
52.     }
53.        
54.  
55. }

Hope this help.

 

An error as ocurred: Cannot implicitly convert type `void' to `UnityEngine.Transform'

You know what´s happen?

Thank you for the help

 

Oh, sorry, change this line :
target= GetTargetByTag("Player");
To this :
GetTargetByTag("Player");

 

It works, thanks!

If someone needs i find other solution, just put the code bellow:

Code (CSharp):

1. else {
2.                         GameObject go = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Player");
3.             if(go == null)
4.                 return;
5.  
6.             target = go.transform;
7.                 }

Thank you

 

Can that target more than one models with the same tag?
