Smooth Follow camera prob

Unity Engine
1

Hi all

im making a sci fi tank shootem up from a 3rd person view, ive just got controls working, thanks for pete for that, but im having probs with Smooth follow on my main cam.

Basically it seems I have to attach it to the main object which has the control script and rigidbody on in order for it to work, but it always faces the front of the tank! The tank is a child object of an empty game object called “tank_holder” in order to correct its axis, however, when i set the tank holder as the Target for the smooth follow component, it does nothing, just stays static in the world as i drive around. What am I not understanding?

Any help much appreciated!

Cheers,

Will

your controls are on the child object. so it moves but the parent doesn’t. put them on the parent or if you want to keep them on the main object, make an empty a child of the main object. then have the camera look at the empty.

Another lifesaving tip, have gone with the empty object to follow. thanks again man!
