Question by Fuhans · Nov 21, 2013 at 04:38 PM · c#cameraturn-based

Center camera on object in unity3d by programatically

i wanted to center my camera on object once they are turn is active.. But, i am unable to do it.

Here is my code:

 public GameObject UserPlayerPrefab;
 public Vector3 v3;
 
 void Update()
     {
         transform.LookAt(UserPlayerPrefab);
     }

i already tried that, but it gave me the error, said that i have to use Vector3. When i change the code to this one:

 void Update()
         {
             transform.LookAt(v3);
         }

it works, but not the camera is not center on the object however it is center on the Tile (which is the Plane).

How do i fix it? Thanks

If you don't initialize v3, its default values are (0,0,0) which will make your camera look at that position. Use transform.LookAt(UserPlayerPrefab.transform.position);

Then perhaps that variable doesn't point to the object at the scene. Create a new GameObject variable and drag your player object from the scene objects list to that variable on the script. Then, use that variable for your LookAt function.
