First Person Shooter Camera Rotation

Questions & Answers

I have been working with unity and scripting in it for a couple of months or so and I can’t seem to figure out how to limit the amount of rotation the camera does on the “Y” - axis. Here is my script. If at all possible, could someone show me how to limit rotation through my script. Thanks in advanced

			var horizontalSpeed : float = 7.0;
			var verticalSpeed : float = 7.0;
			

function Update()
	{
			
				//Rotates Player on "X" Axis Acording to Mouse Input
					var h : float = horizontalSpeed * Input.GetAxis ("Mouse X");
					transform.Rotate (0, h, 0);
					
				//Rotates Player on "Y" Axis Acording to Mouse Input
					var v : float = verticalSpeed * Input.GetAxis ("Mouse Y");
					Camera.mainCamera.transform.Rotate (v, 0, 0);
	
	}

I know this is really old, but for anyone that needs to know:

h = Mathf.Clamp(h, minValue, maxValue);

v = Mathf.Clamp(v, minValue, maxValue);

The function works in the general form -

limitedValueVariable = Mathf.Clamp(valueToLimit, minValue, maxValue);

In the future, if you are using MonoDevelop, mousing over a function call can also help you find the argument parameters a method calls for, and using the <.> after a call or variable will allow you to scroll through all available function and variable calls to see what you can do and use.

Good luck!
