Title: Camera reset postion
Post by: OmegaCo on February 02, 2018, 05:29:49 AM

Hello, I'm having trouble with my third person camera movement. I have it so that when I press the right mouse button I can rotate the camera and have the character follow the direction of the camera and still run forward in a straight line. The problem is panning the camera to high over horizon it pans my view directly to ground I have attach two pngs for the my state machines.

Hi,
you can use the minimum and maximum values to limit the rotations try -30 / 30 and adjust until you think its good

Ok that helps but that somewhat limits my view just under where the camera would reset, is there anyway I could tell the camera to not reset its position.

Hi.
I am not really sure what you mean,
Can you show a video or animated gif ?
From when it's 'reset'

Hi,
Have you tried on full screen?

If you release outside the game screen you might get different effect

Hi.
I tested a bit and i think you need to use 'mouse look 2' action

Hi.
I can't really find some tutorial for this, but i am thinking maybe to use 2 child objects on the camera with colliders or triggers. place on the lefts side and right side of the camera view.

I will see if i have some time tomorrow to test some things out.
