Question by PbAbyss23 · Feb 04, 2021 at 06:40 PM · #pragma

Why won't my camera follow my player?

So I'm new to Unity and I made this program, by following a guide and everithyng is the same in my program, but its just won't work. The thing is that I was the one who fixed the errors by myself, so I don't know if I messed up, or the program was wrong from the start.

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class FollowingCam : MonoBehaviour
 {
    
     private Transform playerTransform;
     void Start()
     {
         playerTransform = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform; 
 
         
     }
 
     
     void LateUpdate() 
     {
      Vector3 temp = playerTransform.position; 
 
         temp.x = playerTransform.position.x; 
         temp.y = playerTransform.position.y;
 
         transform.position = temp; 
 
     }
 }

What were the errors? Could you also link a video of the action. If all else fails, you can parent the camera to the player.

Did you set the tag player? alt text

tag.png (23.1 kB)

and you don't need these lines:

         temp.x = playerTransform.position.x;
         temp.y = playerTransform.position.y;

@PbAbyss23 Well, what you're doing there is basically setting the camera position to be the same as the position of the player, instead of following it. We should consider two premisses here though, 1) this script is attached to a camera, 2) Your Player has the tag "Player" setup.

 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class FollowingCam : MonoBehaviour 
 {
     private GameObject player;
     private Vector3 offset;
 
     void Start () 
     {
         player = GameObject.FindObjectWithTag("Player");
 
         if (player != null)
         {
             offset = transform.position - player.transform.position;
         }
         else
         {
             Debug.LogError("Oops I forgot to add my player to the scene or to set the tag on it");
         }    
     }
 
     void LateUpdate () 
     {
         if (player != null)
         {
             transform.position = player.transform.position + offset;
         }
     }
 }

I'm not sure but did you delete the SampleScene? I had this issue once and it was because I didn't delete the SampleScene.
