Make a camera follow the player as the player turns around rotate - c#

I already can make the player rotate around y- axis by the input of the axis that has been defined on the unity editor. But I want camera also rotating while the player rotates. I already made like below, but the camera not rotating, just the player. Anyone could help me?
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
[RequireComponent(typeof(CharacterController))] // This script requires CharacterController attached to the game object where this script attached into
public class CheckPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero; // Define and set for the movement of the player is not moving by default
private float gravity = 20.0f, speed = 5.0f; // Define and set for the gravity, speed of the player
private void Update()
{
// Rotate the Player
transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis("Rotate") * 60.0f * Time.deltaTime, 0);
Camera.main.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, Input.GetAxis("Rotate") * 60.0f * Time.deltaTime, 0);
// Get the CharacterController component
CharacterController controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
// If the character is on the ground
if (controller.isGrounded)
{
// Get the axis direction for the movement of the character from the Input in the editor
moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
// Player movement depends on the move direction
moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
// The player movement is depends on the player speed
moveDirection *= speed;
}
// How much for the time for player takes to hit the ground because of gravity
moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
// Move the character each second while pressing the key input defined in the editor
controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
}
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col)
{
// If the game object colided with the certain tag
if (col.gameObject.tag == "Inn's Door")
{
// Load another level
GameManager.LoadLevel("Third Loading Scene");
}
// If the game object colided with the certain tag
else if (col.gameObject.tag == "Field's Door")
{
// Load another level
GameManager.LoadLevel("Fourth Loading Scene");
}
}
}
The code above I attached to the player and just refer the camera.
Thank you before

I think you're making this too complicated.
To simply have a camera follow an object while looking at that object, make the camera a child of the object. So the player would have a camera as a child object. The camera would be set up behind him, pointing at him.
This should give you the functionality you want but it doesn't look very good.
My suggestion is to look for the new sample assets (free to all unity3d users and created BY unity technologies) on the asset store. Inside they have a camera prefab which works rather well.
Good luck, I hope that helps.

How to make the main camera rotate with the player?

I have the following script which should make the main camera follow and rotate with the player's movements.
public class FollowPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField]
float mouseSensitivity;
public Vector3 cameraOffset;
public Transform Player;
public Transform mainCamera;
void Start()
{
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
cameraOffset = transform.position - Player.transform.position;
}
void Update()
{
Rotate();
}
private void Rotate()
{
float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
Player.Rotate(Vector3.up, mouseX);
mainCamera.Rotate(Vector3.up, mouseX); //shows abnormal rotation (hides the player as well)
}
private void LateUpdate()
{
Vector3 newPosition = Player.position + cameraOffset;
transform.position = newPosition;
}
}
The camera follows the player, however, but it does not rotate with the player's rotations. Please note that making the main camera the child of the player is not an option here, since I have to use this script on multiplayer. I want the mouse to be able to rotate both the main camera and the player at the same time.
The reason the camera is not rotating, is that you capture the initial offset on start, which is expressed in absolute (world space) position. This can be easily fixed using transform.TransformPoint method. What you then need to do is address camera rotation. In the simplest case you can just use 'LookAt' method
private void LateUpdate()
{
Vector3 newPosition = Player.position + Player.TransformPoint(cameraOffset);
mainCamera.position = newPosition;
mainCamera.LookAt(Player.position, Vector3.up);
}
I also noticed that you use transform.position (a transform from the object your script is attached to) but then you also use mainCamera transform as a seperate transform, mixing it like that might lead to confusion later. You should either always access the camera via mainCamera reference, or you could always keep the script attached to the camera and use transform reference.
I also noticed that you use one script to do two seperate things, it controls both player rotation and camera position/rotation while following the player. While there is nothing stoping you from doing that, its often a good idea to split it into doing two things each doing one logical thing

Unity3D Player walking through and on the Stone

Hello guys my Player is walking on the Stone and through the Stone. The Player called Champ has a Box Collider and the Stone has a Mesh Collider. Also the Player has Rigidbody. I tried everthing i found but nothing helped me with my problem.
MovePlayer.cs Script
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class MovePlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
Rigidbody rb;
public float speed = 10f;
private Vector3 moveDirection;
public float rotationSpeed = 0.05f;
void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
void Update()
{
moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0f, Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical")).normalized;
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
rb.MovePosition(rb.position + transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection * speed * Time.deltaTime));
RotatePlayer();
}
void RotatePlayer()
{
if (moveDirection != Vector3.zero)
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(moveDirection.normalized), rotationSpeed);
}
transform.Translate(moveDirection * speed * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
}
}

Thank you for help guys! :)
So guys i found out the Solution with the help of the guys posted above.
The problem was that my player speed was too high in the Code the speed was on float 10, but i changed the velocity in the Unity Inspector of Player to float 50.
So my first step to solve the problem was to set the speed down to float 10, but i still wanted to move with a speed of 50f...
The Solution for this problem was that in Unity 2020.3.24f1 and higher (probably lower) you can go to Edit>Project Settings>Physics and set the "Default Max Depenetration Velocity" to the speed you want the objects stopping and not going through. In my case i wanted to move with speed = 50f so i needed to change Default Max Depenetration Velocity to 50.
I hope i can help someone with this Answer in future!
Best Wishes

Tested your code and collisions seem to be working fine on my end.
Tested it by adding the script to a GameObject with box collider and creating a small level using cubes. Also made a wall that I modified to use mesh-collider instead of box collider. Player collided normally with objects in the scene.
You should double check your Layer collision matrix from Project Settings > Physics whether you've set layers player and wall to collide.
You could also try adding new cube to the scene and setting its layer to wall to see if player collides with it. If it does then the there might be issues with the mesh of the stone.
If not then I would disable animator and Gravity Body components from the player to make sure they're not interfering with the collisions
Rigidbody.MovePosition basically makes the player teleport which can cause unexpected behaviors. It's generally recommended to use Rigidbody.AddForce instead. For precise movement ForceMode.VeloictyChange can be used.
public float maxVelocityChange = 5.0f;
void moveUsingForces(){
Vector3 targetVelocity = moveDirection;
// Doesn't work with the given RotatePlayer implementation.
// targetVelocity = transform.TransformDirection(targetVelocity);
targetVelocity *= speed;
// Apply a force that attempts to reach our target velocity
Vector3 velocity = rb.velocity;
Vector3 velocityChange = (targetVelocity - velocity);
velocityChange.x = Mathf.Clamp(velocityChange.x, -maxVelocityChange, maxVelocityChange);
velocityChange.z = Mathf.Clamp(velocityChange.z, -maxVelocityChange, maxVelocityChange);
velocityChange.y = 0;
rb.AddForce(velocityChange, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
}
In this code you have applied motion twice and the problem is that transform.Translate is used. Remember that Rigidbody class methods are sensitive to colliders and recognize them, but transform is not the same and only applies a point-to-point shift. To solve the problem, I think you will not need a duplicate motion code with translate in the rotate section.
void RotatePlayer()
{
if (moveDirection != Vector3.zero)
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(moveDirection.normalized), rotationSpeed);
}
// removed translate
}

Unity C#: Issue with rotating, now facing wrong direction

I have a character/rigidbody and 'she' can turn around. When I press Play in Unity, if I move forward/backward, that's fine, she moves forward/backward. It's a good start.
But then if I turn her left or right, then go forward/backward, she now moves sideways.
She is a rigidbody component set as a parent in the scene.
Surely it's not difficult to do, but I can't figure out how to set her rotation so that when she turns, she will move 'forward' when I press the button to move her forward! There are plenty of first-person-shooter games where you can turn and move 'forward' and the player goes in the correct direction.
My rotation script at the moment is this:
Vector3 EulerAngleVelocity;
public float rotateSpeed = 250.0f;
void Update() {
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.UpArrow) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.DownArrow))
{
MoveVector = PoolInput();
Move();
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
EulerAngleVelocity = new Vector3(0, rotateSpeed, 0);
Quaternion deltaRotation = Quaternion.Euler(EulerAngleVelocity * Time.deltaTime);
rigidbody.MoveRotation(rigidbody.rotation * deltaRotation);
}
}
private void Move()
{
rigidbody.AddForce((MoveVector * moveSpeed));
}
private Vector3 PoolInput()
{
Vector3 dir = Vector3.zero;
dir.x = joystick.Horizontal();
dir.z = joystick.Vertical();
if (dir.magnitude > 1)
dir.Normalize();
return dir;
}
You're moving your joystick and adding that direction in relation to the WORLD instead of in relation to your player. If you want to add force relative to the orientation of the RigidBody probably what you want to use is rigidBody.AddRelativeForce (documentation) instead of simply rigidBody.AddForce.
Your problem isn't your rotation code, it's your movement code. You're applying a motion in world-space, not local-space ('object'-space).
For example, if you're using Vector3.Forward, you will want to use transform.Forward instead.

transform.lookat behaving weirdly OR I am missing something (unity3d c#)

I am trying to instantiate a prefab, a fireball, from a baddie, and at the time of instantiation pass the current player position to the fireball and use this to target the fireball at the player. The fireball translates/moves forward on its transform.forward vector. Thus the fireball should head from the baddie towards the player's position at the time the fireball was created.
What I am finding is that the direction is being set (via the transform.lookat() function on the fireball), but it is almost always the wrong direction. It is not 90 or 180 off. How much it is off by depends on where the player is in respect to the baddie. The pattern is symmetrical around the z axis.
Assuming the baddie is at (0,0,0):
when the player is at (0,0,10) the fireballs head directly towards the player
when the player is at (0,0,-10) the fireballs head away from the player (180 degrees. The exact opposite direction. The same direction as when the player was at (0,0,10))
when the player is at (10,0,0) the fireballs head 90 degrees away from the player (to the players right if facing the baddie)
when the player is at (-10,0,0) the fireballs head 90 degrees away from the player (to the players left if facing the baddie)
These values move smoothly as the player moves through these angles. It only ever hits the player in one direction.
I have tried the following (some of these were probably not required):
re-import all assets
create new project on a new machine to reproduce the issue.
I've tried setting the lookat variable to be:
player transform
the vector 3 world coordinate of the player (this is what is in the code below)
player.transform.position - baddie.transform.position
baddie.transform.position - player.transform.position
These all yield the same results.
Here is my code.
Code to Instantiate the fireball from the baddie.
public class Baddie : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject fireballPrefab;
public GameObject playerGameObject;
public float countDownForFireball;
private float currentCountDownForFireball;
void Start () {
playerGameObject = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
currentCountDownForFireball = 0;
}
void Update () {
if(currentCountDownForFireball <= 0)
{
GameObject newFireball = GameObject.Instantiate(fireballPrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
newFireball.GetComponent<Fireball>().SetTarget(playerGameObject.transform.position);
currentCountDownForFireball = countDownForFireball;
}
else
{
currentCountDownForFireball -= Time.deltaTime;
}
}
}
Code on the fireball
public class Fireball : MonoBehaviour {
private float moveSpeed;
private Vector3 target;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
moveSpeed = 15f;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update (){
transform.Translate(transform.forward * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed);
}
public void SetTarget(Vector3 newTarget){
target = newTarget;
transform.LookAt(target);
}
}
The error is in the usage of Transform.Translate. Its secondary parameter is a Space argument that defaults to Space.Self. You want the space of your direction to match the space you're translating in so you want to pass in Space.World:
// transform.forward is the transform's forward vector in "world space"
transform.Translate(transform.forward * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed, Space.World);
Alternatively, you can keep using the default Space.Self with Vector3.forward instead of transform.forward:
// Vector3.forward is (0,0,1). In "self space" this is "forward"
transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed); // Space.Self

Player stops moving upon contact with a gameObject

I am having my player constantly drop downwards on the screen and when the player interact with other gameobjects, I want to destroy those gameobjects and want the player to carry on dropping.
But the moment the player hits the other gameobject, the gameobject does gets destroyed but the player stops dropping. Please help advice what I am doing wrong.
//Script attached to player:
//x-axis movement speed
public float playerMoveSpeed = 0.2f;
//how much force to act against the gravity
public float upForce = 9.0f;
//horizontal control
private float move;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
//player left right x-axis movement control
move = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * playerMoveSpeed;
transform.Translate(move, 0, 0);
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
//to fight against the gravity pull, slow it down
rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.up * upForce);
}
//Script attached to gameObject to be destroyed on contact with player
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col)
{
//as long as collide with player, kill object
if (col.gameObject.tag == "Player")
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
First one should solve your problem, the second one might make your life easier :)
1.) Mark the objects as "Triggers" so that no real collision happens. That way your player should just fall through and keep its speed. You also need to use OnTriggerEnter instead of OnCollisionEnter
2.) If you dont really need "forces" but just want to move the player constantly you could just turn off gravity and set rigidbody.velocity manually like(i am assuming 2d here):
void FixedUpdate()
{
horizontalVelocity = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * playerMoveSpeed;
rigidbody.velocity = new Vector3(horizontalVelocity, verticalVelocity, 0.0f);
}
Just play around with values for verticalVelocity and horizontalVelocity untill it feels right.
Also note that if you move something in Update() you should probably multiply the translation with Time.deltaTime or your player will move faster on higher fps. FixedUpdate is called in fixed time intervalls so you dont need it there(thats why its called Fixed Update).
