Question by SammyPeer · Mar 08, 2016 at 09:06 AM · camera rotateeuleranglesboxcollidervector3.angle

Using a camera as a child on box collider with MouseLookPlus, which way is up with euler angles?

I am attempting to make a first person character controller that can look with the mouse and jump to walls or ceilings then change the orientation so the walls or ceiling become the floor, like a person with magnetic boots in zero gravity. I have used the answer in the following script to make this work but am having difficulty adapting it to work with MouseLookPlus. It all seems to work except the angle that I get for my Raycast appears to travel up instead of directly where the camera is looking. The following is the code that I am using to get the character to jump to the wall (or ceiling).

 function Update() {
     // Jumping, ToWall or ordinary jump
     if (jumping) return; // Don't do update while moving to a wall
     var rb = GetComponent.<Rigidbody>();
     var camArray : Camera[] = GetComponentsInChildren.<Camera>();
     var cam : Camera = camArray[0];
     var ray : Ray;
     var hit : RaycastHit;
     var viewAngle : Vector3;
     viewAngle = Vector3(cam.transform.localEulerAngles.x, rb.transform.localEulerAngles.y, rb.transform.localEulerAngles.z);
     if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) { // If 'jump' pressed do raycast
         ray = Ray(transform.position, viewAngle);
         if (Physics.Raycast(ray, hit, jumpRange)) {
             JumpToWall(hit.point, hit.normal); // Then jump to wall
         }
         else if (isGrounded) {
             rb.velocity += jumpSpeed * myNormal; // Or normal jump
         }
     }

And the following code is the processing of the jump itself:

 function JumpToWall(point : Vector3, normal : Vector3) {
     jumping = true; // Character is jumping
     var rb = GetComponent.<Rigidbody>();
     rb.isKinematic = true; // Turn physics off while jumping
     myNormal = normal;
     var camArray : Camera[] = GetComponentsInChildren.<Camera>();
     var cam : Camera = camArray[0];
     var viewAngle = Vector3(cam.transform.localEulerAngles.x, rb.transform.localEulerAngles.y, rb.transform.localEulerAngles.z);
     var orgPos = transform.position;
     var orgRot = Quaternion.Euler(viewAngle);
     var dstPos = point + normal * (distGround + 0.5); //jumps to 0.5 above wall
     var myForward = rb.transform.forward;
     var dstRot = Quaternion.LookRotation(myForward, normal);
     for (var t : float = 0.0; t < 1.0; ) {
         t += Time.deltaTime;
         transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(orgPos, dstPos, t);
         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(orgRot, dstRot, t);
         yield;
     }
     myNormal = normal; // update normal
     rb.isKinematic = false; //turn physics back on
     jumping = false; // jump has concluded
 }

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

The code computing ViewAngle doesn't look even close to correct, for the input to a raycast. You should be able to search for the direction a camera is facing, and how to make a ray.
