[SOLVED]Switch Camera

Hi everybody,

How can I switch the player view from one camera to another. I have tried the following way:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. GameObject.Find("Initial Camera").GetComponent("Camera").active = false;
3. GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent("Camera").active = true;
4.  

and is not working. Any ideas will be welcomed.

Thanks.

 

digitalwm,
I'm not sure why yours isn't working. Here is what I am using:

Code (csharp):

1.    
2.     GameObject _cameraFP = null;
3.     GameObject _cameraWV = null;
4.    
5.     void Start ()
6.     {
7.         // Init camera
8.         _cameraFP = GameObject.Find("Main Camera");
9.         if (_cameraFP == null)
10.             Debug.Log("Start(): First Person Camera not found");
11.            
12.         _cameraWV = GameObject.Find("Main Camera Wide View");
13.         if (_cameraWV == null)
14.             Debug.Log("Start(): Wide View Camera not found");
15.     }
16.    
17.     void SelectCamera(int cameraIndex)
18.     {
19.         if (_cameraFP != null)
20.             _cameraFP.camera.enabled = (cameraIndex == 0);
21.         if (_cameraWV != null)
22.             _cameraWV.camera.enabled = (cameraIndex == 1);
23.    
24.     }
25.  

Hope that helps,
-Chris

 

Thanks - Solved.

 

where do you put this and how do you use it? on a camera or the main camera or the player not sure. and how to you make it switch, through a getkeydown or soemthing like that?


thanks

 

You can put this anywhere convenient, say on an empty object somewhere in the scene acting as a camera controller. You can use any event you like to switch cameras, so it could be a keystroke, but could just as easily be an event in the game.

 

i tried

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. GameObject.Find("InitialCamera").GetComponent("Camera").active = false;
3. GameObject.Find("MainCamera").GetComponent("Camera").active = true;
4.  

and it worked for me. dont know what you could have done different then me.

 

Tell us what you did!

 

probably he has a third (or first) person controller where in somewhere is calling the Camera.main.transform... i guess..

 

Thanks!
