Question by animalphase · Jun 02, 2013 at 07:09 PM · c#angleeuleranglescamera-lookangles

Aligning/mapping angles of Input.GetAxis(with .localEulerAngles

I have a customized smoothed mouselook script based on this script. The update function begins like this:

 rotAverageY = 0f;
 rotAverageX = 0f;
  
 rotationY += Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivityY;
 rotationX += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivityX;
             
 rotationY = ClampAngle( rotationY, minimumY, maximumY );
 //rotationX = ClampAngle( rotationX, minimumX, maximumX );
             
 Debug.Log(rotationY + "   " + transform.localEulerAngles.x);
 Debug.Log(rotationX + "   " + transform.localEulerAngles.y);

That Debug.Log reveals a discrepancy between the rotation value and the actual Euler angle values. My key issue is that I need to find a way to align the values.

Main query:

I would like to find a way to correlate these angular values.

.

.

Further Explanation, stop reading here if no more information is required: After some averaging on the mouse input, later on in the script the transform is applied to the camera like so:

 Quaternion yQuaternion = Quaternion.AngleAxis (rotAverageY, Vector3.left);
 Quaternion xQuaternion = Quaternion.AngleAxis (rotAverageX, Vector3.up);
 transform.localRotation = originalRotation * xQuaternion * yQuaternion;

I assume that the discrepancy comes from the way the angles are assigned in the above 3 lines. Where the rotationY value ranges between 60 and -60, transform.localEulerAngles.x ranges between 300 and 60 respectively.

The reason this discrepancy is a problem for me: during certain interactions, I force the player camera to look at an object using a Quaternion.Slerp(). Once this view-snapping is toggled off, the averaging function (responsible for mouse smoothing) has a tendency to snap the camera back to its initial rotation - thus, the values in the averaging function must be overwritten to match the camera's current resting position to prevent the odd rotation.

This for rotationX ( which corresponds to mouseX input sensitivity, and rotates around the Y axis). However, the discrepancy between the rotationY value (based on mouse input sensitivity) and the actual localEulerAngles.x makes it impossible to reset the camera at all using the values which I am currently working with.
