Question by Gehrman3 · Jan 31, 2017 at 08:35 PM · positionobjectheightmaximum

Stoping camera when character is falling.

Well my character goes upwards for my game. Camera is following it there is no problem. But when character is falling, I want to stop camera. I just need to spot maximum reached height

highestPosition = Pos = target.position.y; if (highestPosition > Pos) { GetComponent ().enabled = false;}

How can i detect highest position?

so in your game. the camera follows the player but if they fall, it stays at the highest position? so if they fall its game over?

You have variables highestPosition , currentPosition.

Now, I would have a check like this

 if(currentPosition > highestPosition){
     highestPosition = currentPosition;
 }

And then, I would just make the camera follow the highest position. If the player keeps climbing up - the camera climbs together with him. If he falls, the camera stays at the highest reached position.

Err, what @Scoutas said was exactly what you wanted.

 float yPos = target.position.y;
 
 if (yPos > highestPos)
 {
     highestPos = yPos;
     //Move Camera
 }
 else
 {
     //Don't move Camera
 }
