Custom camera controller

pikifou

I'm not totally satisfied by the current 3rd person camera.

I wanted to constrain the camera Spin & Pitch to a certain amount. I was glad to find there is an option to do this, but it constraints to global rotation coordinates, independently of player's direction. I wanted a camera :

- That stays behind, aligned with the player

- That lets you rotate 60° on each side (right / left)

- That lets you rotate from 30 to 60° top

I thought I could use a custom camera controller, but I don't see how to integrate it without doing some AC engine modification.

Just add the "_Camera" script component to your custom camera (the same object as the actual Unity Camera component itself), and it'll then be visible to your various Actions / Scene Manager fields.

Worked like a charm indeed.

It was 3 steps :

- Create a Camera specific script (customThirdPersonCamera.cs)

- Create an editor file (customThirdPersonCameraEditor.cs)

- Restart Unity. I don't know where the bug came from (Unity or AC) but editor components didn't appear until I restarted.

Thanks for your answer ! \o/

Addendum :

Your customThirdPersonCameraEditor.cs script needs to be in an "Editor" subfolder or you will have build errors.
