Mouse look always snaps back to old rotation

I am running a simple mouse look script on my camera. Problem is when I have the camera LookAt a target object, once the user tries using mouse look again, the camera always snaps back to the old rotation. I have tried using offsets and subtracting the old rotational values but nothing works.

Here is the old code:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void MouseLook(){
2.         float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
3.         float mouseY = -Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");
4.  
5.         currentRotation.y += mouseX * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
6.         currentRotation.x += mouseY * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
7.         //Debug.Log (currentRotation.x+" / "+currentRotation.y);
8.  
9.         currentRotation.x = Mathf.Clamp(currentRotation.x, -clampAngle, clampAngle);
10.  
11.         Quaternion localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(currentRotation.x, currentRotation.y, 0.0f);
12.         transform.rotation= localRotation;
13.  
14.     }

 

Where's the code where you have the camera look at a target object? Are you sure you're not just continuing to run the look at code while you're using mouse look?

 

I'm half guessing here for your goal/design, but what if you update the current rotation values when you do your "Look At"s. ?

 

I am just using the standard "transform.LookAt(target object.trasnform)" to get the camera to look at the target object. I only call it once. I am absolutely sure that is not the issue as the rotation of the camera is working fine. The only issue is when I first press down the mouse button to start dragging the view always snaps back to the old rotation no matter what. I have recorded the rotation values and found that, indeed, they are the old rotational values from before I had the camera look at the target object.

 

currentRotation appears to be a "global", for the script. At the end of the script, the transform is changed, but if currentRotation held it's value, it would snap back. After the lookat, you need to change the value of currentRotation to the transform rotation. ie
currentRotation = transform.rotation;

 

That did it! In case anyone else runs into this problem, I just put this code in when the user first clicks the mouse button to start dragging the view.

Code (CSharp):

1.         // When first clicking right mouse, set currentRotation global to the actual rotation
2.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (1)) {
3.             currentRotation = transform.rotation.eulerAngles;
4.  
5.         }

 

Glad you got it working.

 

Cool, glad you got it sorted out And that is what I had meant, too
