Hello,
well could not find a solution…
At my end of the Game you can see what you have done.
So i have a Menü where you can choose what you want…
Now if i hit the Replay Button my Gameobject got Cloned and walk the Path…
Only my Camera with the SmoothFollow Skript stay’s @ the same place…
Is there a Script solution maybe in C# ?
thank you.
It’s obviously still following the original object. Grab a link to the camera’s script, and change the transform target variable to point to your new clone.
If you need to learn how to access an object’s script along with it’s variables, it’s fully documented in the scripting reference.
thxxx,
well to make a link is not a problem but how do i access this new Gameobject ?
It has the same Name as my Prefab Ghost(Clone) ?
Thanxxx
Stefan
When you instance your ghost/clone, you by default have a pointer to it.
clone = Instantiate(clonePrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
^^^^^
Myself, I would just grab a link to the camera’s script right after you instance your new clone. Set the transform target right then and there. As per the documentation you’ve read, you can find your camera gameObject with Camera.main, FindObjectWithTag(), etc.
Hi,
well i got the switch not to work…
Camera.current.GetComponent(SmoothFollow1).target=Ghost(Clone);
i have a second camera also for my endgame menu.
i use the smoothfollow script with these addition:
var target : Transform;
function Update (){
if (!target)
{
target = GameObject.Find("Ghost(Clone)").transform;
}
}
it works with 2 little issues:
problem is if my GameObject is destroyed i got a error message and i want that the camera goes back to the initial position…
other issue is that i don’t have to assign a GameObject to var target. :roll: than it works… but i don’t know a workaround…
I know this sounds nooby, but this is my first multiuser game. I cant seem to make the camera follow the clone when it spawns, and I have no idea what grabbing a link and transforming it means. Every time I try to make it follow the clone, I get a strange error :evil:. Could someone give me a script so that:
Instead of following new Prefab, when it spawns new Prefab(Clone) it would follow that instead. Help would be much appreciated.

Im trying to make a racing game. This is the script im using.
