Hello, i am working on a bike came and i want to move my camera which just follow my bike. i am using smooth follow script but when i change my lane, my camera also change its position to x axis. which i do not want. i have tried to make changes in SmoothFollow script but could get to the right direction.

can anybody give me some hint to to achieve that as i am new in unity.

Instead of following your bike, your camera needs to follow some stub. The stub doesn’t change lanes. So you need to let the stub update the positions of the bike in only 2 directions and let the third out. This way, you don’t need to change the smoothFollow script.

var target : Transform;
var distance : float = 10.0;

function Update(){
transform.position.z = target.position.z - distance;

}

Use this on you main camera, i am very new to c# but I think I made a stream-lined, efficient script to follow any player on ONLY the z-axis.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CameraBehaviors : MonoBehaviour {

public Transform player;

private float playerZ;

private Vector3 follow;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
	playerZ = player[0].position.z - 2;
	follow = new Vector3(0f,8.23f,playerZ);
	transform.position = follow;
}

}

The part where I describe the Y axis for “follow” it just how high you want the camera, that can be changed to your liking. also the -2 in “playerZ” it just so the camera is slightly behind the player.

Hope this script helped!
