Camera problem

Questions & Answers

I am trying to make a 2d game just for fun, I am having some problems with the camera. When I rotate the player the camera rotate too because is child of player, but I want to rotate just the player.
Can someone help me with this?

Child objects are positioned relative to their parent. So don’t make the camera a child of the player.

I would recommend you make the camera a seperate object and then put a script on it so it follows the player. E.g:

private var heightOffSet : Vector3 = Vector3(0,400,0);	//height offset from player for camera
private var player : GameObject;			//the main player game object

function Start ()
{
player = GameObject.Find("Player");	//find game object player and assign
}


function Update ()
{
//follow player position	
transform.position = player.transform.position + heightOffSet;		//have the camera follow the player based on current height offset
}

you’ll need to play with vector height offset to set it to your needs… angle the camera how you like it and then use this to set the distance - you’ll need to use position x y z depending if your game is top down or side view…etc…
hope that helps,
