Hi andeee, thanks for a reply.
The Mouse Look script that I currently have is set up as it is by default…which is…
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
/// MouseLook rotates the transform based on the mouse delta.
/// Minimum and Maximum values can be used to constrain the possible rotation
/// To make an FPS style character:
/// - Create a capsule.
/// - Add a rigid body to the capsule
/// - Add the MouseLook script to the capsule.
/// -> Set the mouse look to use LookX. (You want to only turn character but not tilt it)
/// - Add FPSWalker script to the capsule
/// - Create a camera. Make the camera a child of the capsule. Reset it's transform.
/// - Add a MouseLook script to the camera.
/// -> Set the mouse look to use LookY. (You want the camera to tilt up and down like a head. The character already turns.)
[AddComponentMenu("Camera-Control/Mouse Look")]
public class MouseLook : MonoBehaviour {
public enum RotationAxes { MouseXAndY = 0, MouseX = 1, MouseY = 2 }
public RotationAxes axes = RotationAxes.MouseXAndY;
public float sensitivityX = 15F;
public float sensitivityY = 15F;
public float minimumX = -360F;
public float maximumX = 360F;
public float minimumY = -60F;
public float maximumY = 60F;
float rotationX = 0F;
float rotationY = 0F;
Quaternion originalRotation = 0F;
void Update ()
{
if (axes == RotationAxes.MouseXAndY)
{
// Read the mouse input axis
rotationX += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivityX;
rotationY += Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivityY;
rotationX = ClampAngle (rotationX, minimumX, maximumX);
rotationY = ClampAngle (rotationY, minimumY, maximumY);
Quaternion xQuaternion = Quaternion.AngleAxis (rotationX, Vector3.up);
Quaternion yQuaternion = Quaternion.AngleAxis (rotationY, Vector3.left);
transform.localRotation = originalRotation * xQuaternion * yQuaternion;
}
else if (axes == RotationAxes.MouseX)
{
rotationX += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivityX;
rotationX = ClampAngle (rotationX, minimumX, maximumX);
Quaternion xQuaternion = Quaternion.AngleAxis (rotationX, Vector3.up);
transform.localRotation = originalRotation * xQuaternion;
}
else
{
rotationY += Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivityY;
rotationY = ClampAngle (rotationY, minimumY, maximumY);
Quaternion yQuaternion = Quaternion.AngleAxis (rotationY, Vector3.left);
transform.localRotation = originalRotation * yQuaternion;
}
if(axes == RotationAxes.MouseXAndY)
{
}
void Start ()
{
// Make the rigid body not change rotation
if (rigidbody)
rigidbody.freezeRotation = false;
originalRotation = transform.localRotation;
}
public static float ClampAngle (float angle, float min, float max)
{
if (angle < -360F)
angle += 360F;
if (angle > 360F)
angle -= 360F;
return Mathf.Clamp (angle, min, max);
}
}
What I would like it to do is allow me to move my 3rd person character model along the horizontal axis via mouse inputs and play an animation as it does…
I have been playing around with the Look At Mouse script, which allows me to do what I want… but it doesn’t play the animation… the script for Look At Mouse is…
// speed is the rate at which the object will rotate
var speed = 4.0;
function Start ()
{
animation.wrapMode = WrapMode.Loop;
}
function Update () {
// Generate a plane that intersects the transform's position with an upwards normal.
var playerPlane = new Plane(Vector3.up, transform.position);
// Generate a ray from the cursor position
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.GetAxis("MouseXandY");
// Determine the point where the cursor ray intersects the plane.
// This will be the point that the object must look towards to be looking at the mouse.
// Raycasting to a Plane object only gives us a distance, so we'll have to take the distance,
// then find the point along that ray that meets that distance. This will be the point
// to look at.
var hitdist = 0.0;
// If the ray is parallel to the plane, Raycast will return false.
if (playerPlane.Raycast (ray, hitdist)) {
// Get the point along the ray that hits the calculated distance.
var targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
// Determine the target rotation. This is the rotation if the transform looks at the target point.
var targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetPoint - transform.position);
// Smoothly rotate towards the target point.
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
Like I said, I’m a complete n00b at this, but really want to get to grips with is, as my programmer is away at the moment and it’s holding me up!
Cheers.
