Unity3d Cinemachine 3rd person mobile swipe camera

I have created a 3rd person freelook camera along with a player controller that takes input from the new input system action map, where it is from the left stick gamepad, jump and can look; thanks to a youtube tutorial. The camera is working great where I rotate around my player and the player moves in the direction of the camera.
After building and playing on my phone, I realised there's a problem, the camera does not stop rotating as long as the user does not stop pressing the screen. I do not want that as it starts to get annoying the more the user plays the game. I want the user to press and hold the camera and rotate it as they are dragging it around the player (like in the mobile game genshin impact). I do not know the proper term for it, but I assumed it is a swipe 3rd person camera. Can some one tell me how it is done?

 

Code (CSharp):

1. #region Variables
2. [SerializeField]
3. private float playerSpeed = 2.0f;
4. [SerializeField]
5. private float jumpHeight = 1.0f;
6. [SerializeField]
7. private float gravityValue = -9.81f;
8. [SerializeField]
9. private float rotationSpeed = 0.1f;
10. private float rotationVelocity;
11.  
12. private Transform cameraMain;
13. private Transform child;
14. private Player playerInput;
15. private CharacterController controller;
16. private Vector3 playerVelocity;
17. private bool groundedPlayer;
18. #endregion
19.  
20. #region Main Methods
21. private void Awake()
22. {
23.     playerInput = new Player();
24.     controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
25. }
26.  
27. private void OnEnable()
28. {
29.     playerInput.Enable();
30. }
31.  
32. private void OnDisable()
33. {
34.     playerInput.Disable();
35. }
36.  
37.  
38. private void Start()
39. {
40.     cameraMain = Camera.main.transform;
41.     child = transform.GetChild(0).transform;
42. }
43.  
44. void Update()
45. {
46.     groundedPlayer = controller.isGrounded;
47.     if (groundedPlayer && playerVelocity.y < 0)
48.     {
49.         playerVelocity.y = 0f;
50.     }
51.  
52.     Vector2 movementInput = playerInput.PlayerMain.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();
53.     //Vector3 move = new Vector3(movementInput.x, 0f, movementInput.y);
54.     Vector3 move = (cameraMain.forward * movementInput.y + cameraMain.right * movementInput.x);
55.     move.y = 0f;
56.     //controller.Move(move * Time.deltaTime * playerSpeed);
57.  
58.     if (move != Vector3.zero)
59.     {
60.         float targetAngle = Mathf.Atan2(move.x, move.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
61.         float angle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(child.eulerAngles.y, targetAngle, ref rotationVelocity, rotationSpeed);
62.         child.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angle, 0f);
63.         controller.Move(move * Time.deltaTime * playerSpeed);
64.     }
65.  
66.     // Changes the height position of the player..
67.     if (playerInput.PlayerMain.Jump.triggered && groundedPlayer)
68.     {
69.         playerVelocity.y += Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -3.0f * gravityValue);
70.     }
71.  
72.     playerVelocity.y += gravityValue * Time.deltaTime;
73.     controller.Move(playerVelocity * Time.deltaTime);
74.  
75.    
76. }

Above is the player controller code learned recently from youtube tutorial. Below is input action map and gameObject for the gamepad:

 

Thank you for replying, and yes I am using it, attached below:

 

I have checked (because I learnt this from a youtube tutorial), that this is actually a delta vector, and also where did you get the 'prevMovementinput'?

 

I have already created a bug report, I would have sent sooner, but it took too long to upload

 

Hello, I have already sent the bug report, and i was redirected to fogbugz page where my case is there, how do I know that there is a reply to it?

 

Thank you for your reply, I did as you said and it does work somewhat, the problem now is that the camera rotates as the player moves automatically as opposed to the complete control of the user. Ive tried it as well with the delta mouse, and it still had that jerky motion, and the range of camera rotation seemed limited as well

 

I have attached two zip files

The first one is where I followed your teaching where I had to change the input setting from right-stick gamepad to delta touchscreen. As you can see, the camera is tortating from where the player is heading, which means the user has no control of the camera. And the range is short when I try to rotate it. I changed it like so :


The second file is where I am using the right-stick gamepad. It works perfectly as the user has complete control of the camera, and the player moves in the direction of the camera. The problem is (in the video), when the user press and hold the camera, it will automatically rotate around the player, the camera does not stop and hold.

 

Thank you for your reply and helpfulness, I will do just that

 

Hi @Airies, i have a similar issue. Is there a follow up thread in the Input System forum or did you even solve the problem?
