How to use Canvas.worldCamera

Hi,

so I am working on a project where I use a Canvas as a Prefab.
I want to use the Screen Space - Camera and I have to reference my Camera as Render Camera per script since it is a Prefab.

There were multiple people on the Internet saying I could use Canvas.worldCamera but it is not working or being seen as a viable Method by my Compiler either. (I am using Visual Studio)

Could anyone of you tell me how I could include Canvas.worldCamera in the following script?
that would be really nice

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Canvas : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     // Start is called before the first frame update
4.  
5.     Camera camera;
6.     Canvas canvas;
7.    
8.     void Start()
9.     {
10.         camera = Camera.main;
11.        
12.        
13.        
14.     }
15. }

 

Its a setting on Canvas, a value under Render Mode. Change your 'main' canvas settings there.

 

I know I can reference my Camera that way. But in a Prefab this does not work so I have to do it inside a Script.
What Im asking for is a way to use Canvas.worldCamera because it doesnt work if I use it inside my script.

 

Prefabs will not save anything outside of their own scope, so reference the camera or create a reference to it after creating the prefab. Haven't played enough with worldcamera myself but it should work as intended.

Alternatively create a static object with a fixed reference to your camera (eg. GameManager.GetCamera). Not optimal but a viable workaround.
