[JS] Minimap Rotation Problem

Questions & Answers
1

Hello,

I got a Problem with the Rotation of my Camera (Minimap) which is following me arround.
I created a second Camera, used a Script which makes the Camera follow me and then I changed the Viewport Rect so its in the Corner. My Problem now is, that the Camera´s Rotation is not correct.

As you can see I made 2 arrows, what i want is that both arrows show in the same Direction.

This is the Script which is attached to the Map-Camera:

// The target we are following
var target : Transform;
// The distance in the x-z plane to the target
var distance = 10.0;
// the height we want the camera to be above the target
var height = 5.0;
// How much we 
var heightDamping = 2.0;
var rotationDamping = 3.0;

// Place the script in the Camera-Control group in the component menu
@script AddComponentMenu("Camera-Control/Smooth Follow")


function LateUpdate () {
	// Early out if we don't have a target
	if (!target)
		return;
	
	// Calculate the current rotation angles
	var wantedRotationAngle = target.eulerAngles.y;
	var wantedHeight = target.position.y + height;
		
	var currentRotationAngle = transform.eulerAngles.y;
	var currentHeight = transform.position.y;
	
	// Damp the rotation around the y-axis
	currentRotationAngle = (Mathf.LerpAngle (currentRotationAngle, wantedRotationAngle, rotationDamping * Time.deltaTime));

	// Damp the height
	currentHeight = Mathf.Lerp (currentHeight, wantedHeight, heightDamping * Time.deltaTime);

	// Convert the angle into a rotation
	var currentRotation = Quaternion.Euler (0, currentRotationAngle, 0);
	
	// Set the position of the camera on the x-z plane to:
	// distance meters behind the target
	transform.position = target.position;
	transform.position -= currentRotation * Vector3.forward * distance;

	// Set the height of the camera
	transform.position.y = currentHeight;
	
	// Always look at the target
	transform.LookAt (target);
}

And these are my Values:

The Script is not from me, i just found it in the Internet and everything worked just not the Rotation thing. :slight_smile:

I tried around just adding a “-90” somewhere so the Rotation is changed but i dont understand where and what i have to change.

I appreciate every help :slight_smile:

It should work if you remove the script and parent the camera to the player instead.

or try this if you want to keep the script:

 // The target we are following
var target : Transform;

function LateUpdate () {

transform.position.x = target.transform.position.x;
transform.position.z = target.transform.position.z;


}
