Camera doesn't have to move when my character rotates

Camera & Cinematics Camera

Hi,

I’m developping a point and clic game and I put my camera inside my character to follow it. But I don’t want the camera to move when he rotates, only when th character goes to the right / left…

Is there a way to do it with C# ?

On your LateUpdate(), you can reset the position and rotation of your camera.

The reason I placed it on LateUpdate instead of Update is because we want the camera to set it’s position/rotation after all the items have updated (specifically the camera’s parent).

Attach this to the camera:

using UnityEngine;

class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour {

    private Quaternion rotation;
    private Vector3 position;

    void Start() {
        rotation = transform.rotation;
        position = transform.position;
    }

    void LateUpdate() {
        transform.rotation = rotation;
        float x = transform.parent.transform.position.x + position.x;
        float y = transform.parent.transform.position.y + position.y;
        float z = transform.parent.transform.position.z + position.z;
        transform.position = new Vector3(x, y, z);
    }

}

In my opinion, I think that you shouldn’t have the camera as a child, because if for any reason your parent item is disabled/destroyed, the camera will be as well.
