[SOLVED] C# Character Rotation relative to camera's (First Person)

Unity Engine
1

Hello, I’ve been at this for a few hours now. And I’ve partially been able to achieve what I wanted, although not quite.
I’ve been searching for answers for a while, and although there are very similar questions going around, no answers that’ve been provided have actually helped me.

So, basically. I’ve been able to make it so the character I have in the scene, is facing the same way the camera is, kind of. When I rotate the camera, the character follows, but it lags behind, and eventually, the controls in terms of directions will be all off.

I’ve been at this for a few hours, with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated. Here are my two scripts prepared for you.

Camera Script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class cameraScript : MonoBehaviour
{
        public float MouseSensitivity = 1.0f;
     
        public float XRotation;
        public float YRotation;
        float MinYRotation = -90f;
        float MaxYRotation = 90f;
        // Use this for initialization
        void Start ()
        {
                InitCamera ();
        }
     
        // Update is called once per frame
        void Update ()
        {
                CameraController();
        }
         void InitCamera()
        {
                //Finding the Player's transform and assigning the camera's position to the Player's.
                GameObject myTarget = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
                Vector3 DesiredPos = new Vector3(myTarget.transform.position.x, transform.position.y, myTarget.transform.position.z);
                transform.position = DesiredPos;
                transform.parent = myTarget.transform;
        }
        void CameraController()
        {
                //Assigning rotations to appopriate Axes
                XRotation += Input.GetAxisRaw ("Mouse X") * MouseSensitivity;
                YRotation -= Input.GetAxisRaw ("Mouse Y") * MouseSensitivity;
                //Clamp
                YRotation = Mathf.Clamp (YRotation,MinYRotation, MaxYRotation );
                //Actual Rotation
                transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler (YRotation,XRotation,0);
        }
}

Controller Script:
```csharp
*using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float MovementSpeed = 5.0f;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{

    }
  
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update ()
    {
            float localRotationY = Camera.main.transform.rotation.y;
            float MoveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * MovementSpeed;
            float   MoveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime * MovementSpeed;
            transform.Translate (MoveHorizontal, 0 , MoveVertical);
            transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler (0, Camera.main.transform.localEulerAngles.y, 0);
    }

}
__```*__

Updated post so you wouldn’t need to view the code by using pastebin.

I fixed it! :smile: I finally figured it out!

Instead of using localrotation I’d use the actual Eulerangles themselves…

transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(YRotation,XRotation,0);

instead of

transform.localRotation=Quaternion.Euler(YRotation,XRotation,0);
