Question by GrimmSpector · Apr 20, 2016 at 11:00 PM · 2d-platformercamera-movementcamera followsmoothfollow

2D Sample Camera Script malfunctioning

Hi, I'm trying to use the built in assets sample 2D camera that follows a player object, I've put an object into the game world that's controlled with a player controlling script for simple movement, it works fine.

The camera however will not follow it unless I specify min and max x & y values on the follow script. However, if I specify MIN values the camera jumps to whatever I set them to, instead of staying with the player, as soon as I start the scene. Since I can't set a minimum, if the player falls, the camera will always stop following after 0, w$$anonymous$$ch is not what I want. And if I don't start the player object AT 0, 0 then for the camera won't be on them to begin with, and will only follow them to the maximums, w$$anonymous$$ch is again, not what I want and doesn't appear to be the intended purpose of the script.

In addition the movement of the camera is incredibly jerky, regardless of what I set the smoot$$anonymous$$ng values to. I've tried moving the Update section into FixedUpdate and removing the time.deltaTime but that's has no discernible effect on the cameras behaviour, it's still incredibly jerk, with only 2 objects on the screen there's no reason for t$$anonymous$$s.

Can someone help me identify what's going wrong? I've looked through the script and cannot find the error, and I'd suspect that a publicly released item like t$$anonymous$$s wouldn't fall through the cracks with such significant errors. The only modification I've made to the script is the change from Update to FixedUpdate, everyt$$anonymous$$ng else is entirely stock.

Public values have the X & Y margins set to 1, smoot$$anonymous$$ng set to 10, arbitrarily as any value produces the same result, I've tried 0 - 100 in increments of 1 until I reached pretty $$anonymous$$gher numbers at w$$anonymous$$ch point I switched to 5. Max X & Y are currently set to 10, with minimums set to 0, because of above behaviour.

Really hoping someone can help me on t$$anonymous$$s, thanks!
