So I have this setup:
-
Camera rotation is clamped on the Y axis. It can only rotate from -75 to 75 degrees left and right, and its rotation is controlled by the mouse.
-
Player body can rotate around its Y axis, and its Y rotation value is added to -75 and 75 degree camera clamps in order to keep the camera rotation space in front of the player body. Example: If the player rotates 90 degrees on the Y axis, the clamp values would change to 15 and 165 degrees.
-The problem arises when the player body exceeds 359 degrees on the Y axis because camera clamp values jump from 284 and 434 back to -75 and 75, which causes a noticeable snap in camera movement.
Note the camera clamps (Limit L, Limit R) in the MouseLook script after 00:40
*The handleBodyRotation method just rotates the player body to face the red cube which is a child of the camera.
