Zelda/Adventure style camera control

Unity Engine

I noticed that there has been some request for a Zelda style camera movement. My thought was I know it is somewhere out there, but no. Lol

I made a simple base camera control for people to build off of. The scripts are far from perfect, but they do the job.

For those that want just the code:
Attach this to your colliders and change the X and Y to your layout. Should you get a bug or the camera is bouncing between colliders, adjust the colliders so they do not interfere with the player’s movement.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CameraMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform cam;
    public float posX = 0;
    public float posY = 0;
   
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col)
    {
        if(col.tag == "Player")
        {
            Camera.main.transform.Translate(posX, posY, 0);
        }
    }
}

Attach this one to your doorways or caves. For this code to work you will need to know where the X, Y and Z positions of your camera and doorways/caves. Otherwise the camera will default to 0,0,0 and or send the player into an infinite loop between doorways/caves. you will need to set your player just outside the doorways/caves to remedy the looping.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class MoveToArea : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform cam;
    public float posX = 0;
    public float posY = 0;
    public float posZ = 0;
    public float camposX = 0;
    public float camposY = 0;
    public float camposZ = 0;
   
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col)
    {
        if(col.tag == "Player")
        {
            col.transform.position = new Vector3(posX, posY, posZ);
            Camera.main.transform.position = new Vector3(camposX, camposY, camposZ);
        }
    }
}

You may use this for whatever you like both commercial and non. Some credit would be nice.

Enjoy!
