extended flycam initial camera rotation

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I’m using Extended Flycam script for camera movement and i’m trying to start at a different angle than (0,0,0)
In the start void I align camera to look at a target.
Then, in update, it jumps back to 0,0,0 rotation.

Please help!
Thank you

Here’s the code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Assertions;
using UnityEngine.UI; 

public class CamControl : MonoBehaviour {

I think you want:

    void Start ()
    {
        //Assert.IsNotNull(cam, "Main Camera not found. TAGS??");
       Vector3 temp1 = new Vector3(0,altitude,-cameraDistance);
       transform.position = targetObject.transform.position + temp1;
       transform.LookAt(targetObject);
       rotationX = transform.rotation.x;
       rotationY = transform.rotation.y;

I tried exactly those two lines, but it made no difference.
I think it has something to do with these two lines:

transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(rotationX, Vector3.up);
transform.localRotation *= Quaternion.AngleAxis(rotationY, Vector3.left);

I suffer from the same problem. Did you get off?
