Hi there,

I am creating a racetrack with a sphere on it that will be my "car".
Just an exercise for code stuff.
I have troubles understanding how I can only rotate my camera
around an ax I want (e.g when the race track heads left, and I steer left,
the camera rotates in 1 ax, I dont want the camera to roll like the sphere itself.

I am looking for the right syntax, e.g in pseudocode:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. transform.rotate(transform.pitch, transform.yaw, target.roll);
3.  

here's the code:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var target : Transform;
3. var distance = 10.0;
4. var height = 10.0;
5.  
6. function LateUpdate () {
7.   if (!target)
8.   return;
9.   // align this camera to the target position
10.   targetPosition = target.position;
11.   transform.position = targetPosition;
12.   transform.position.y += height;
13.  
14.   // and now make sure the camera only rotates
15.   // in the ax we want.
16.    
17.   targetRotation = target.rotation;
18.   // STUFF HERE - What do I do now?
19.   }
20.  

I'll do some "lerping" later on.

 

ps:

I don't understand "perpendicular to worldUp", my English ain't that good!
Could someone explain this please? Thanks!

 

Thanks a lot Joachim!
It's still going beserk though

But why should I use eulerAngles in this case?
Why is there a difference between eulerAngles and Quaternions?
