Rotating when moving head

When I try to just look around my player rotates around in a circle. It moves when I look around. It completely switches locations. Here is my code for looking around.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class MouseLook : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8. public float mouseSensitivity=100f;
9.  
10. public Transform playerBody;
11.  
12. float xRotation=0f;
13.  
14. // Start is called before the first frame update
15.     void Start()
16.     {
17.         Cursor.lockState=CursorLockMode.Locked;
18.     }
19.  
20.     // Update is called once per frame
21.     void Update()
22.     {
23.         float mouseX= Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") *mouseSensitivity*Time.deltaTime;
24.         float mouseY= Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") *mouseSensitivity*Time.deltaTime;
25.  
26.      xRotation-=mouseY;
27.      xRotation=Mathf.Clamp(xRotation,-90f,90f);
28.  
29.      transform.localRotation=Quaternion.Euler(xRotation,0f,0f);
30.  
31.         playerBody.Rotate(Vector3.up*mouseX);
32.  
33.         }
34. }
35.  

 

You have a lot of double-action going on in that script above that makes no obvious sense to me.

For one you are setting x rotation to the Y input. That's weird.

For two you are driving the script game object's local rotation to a fixed rotation in line 29. Then you are relatively rotating ANOTHER transform around the global +Y axis by the mousex value.

Perhaps you want to review any one of the hundreds of youtube character controller scripts out there, see how it is traditionally accomplished. The steps are basically two or three:

- gather input
- filter input (smooth, scale, etc.)
- apply input to rotation, either positionally (absolute) or relatively (like a console controller)

 

See, since im a noob, im not very smart with this stuff. So could you kinda dumb it down. If you dont want to I completley understand.

 

No need! There are literally hundreds of youtube tutorials for character control, and 100% of them are gonna be better than anything I can type here to you. Google is your good friend learning Unity3D.

 

Oh ok. What do I look up?

 

@ChipotleGod

I guess you are creating FPS capsule controller...?

I think the code should work, maybe you have simply placed the camera incorrectly, not centered inside the capsule where head/eyes are located.

 

Yeah I was thinking about that. Hold on.

 

Its not the camera. When I try to move and look around my character moves like it is attached to a circle.

 

How do I change that?

 

It sounds like the pivot point of your character (whatever

playerBody

is) is not at the center of mass for that object. Are you using Unity primitive shapes, or a custom mesh, or what? What does your object hierarchy look like?

 

Here ya go

 

So what do I do?
