Making the camera not go under 0 in height

Questions & Answers
1

Hi. My camera is following my player across the y axis. My player goes under 0 in the y axis, and I do not want my camera to follow him there. Ho can I set the camera’s lowest point to be y = 0?

Attach a script to the camera like this

void LateUpdate()
{
   if (gameObject.transform.position.y = < 0)
      gameObject.transform.position.y = 0;
}

EDIT: Thanks for pointing that out, LateUpdate is much more appropriate.
Also you could easily incorporate panning and such into the script.
Now this is a bit of a trick, but… depending on your game, you could add a Collider to the camera :stuck_out_tongue:
