manually camera rotating

Vacation time: I will be on vacation from October 3rd to October 15th, please expect a delay in my support. Thank you for your understanding.

Anthony,

I try to rotate the cam manually.
For this I used the function RotateFromVector(). However, I am a bit confused about the parameters and am looking for an example of how to call the function correctly.

I get -1 or +1 from the keyBindings, depending on where I want to rotate to, and have passed some values as parameters as a test. Unfortunately the camera does not rotate at all.

        var rotate = keyBindings.Camera.Rotate.ReadValue<float>();
        if (rotate != 0)
        {
            //cameraPerspective.RotateFromVector(Vector2.one * rotate);
            cameraPerspective.RotateFromVector(Vector2.one * 90);
        }

Thanks

Anthony

Dennis Hi!
You seem to be using an old version of the plugin. RotateFromVector is not existing anymore.

You can now use this function on the latest versions:
cam.MoveCameraToInstant(manualOffset, manualZoom, manualRotation);

Here is a fully working example to import after you have imported the last version:

I updated via Unity Package manager and CameraBase.RotateFromVector() still exists

Maybe I don't have the newest version now?

Dennis

Ok, some more infos. Maybe this is the main problem here. (Based on older version because RotateFromVector() still exists)

Both events are fired if I use MoveCameratoInstant(Vector3).

After I enabled some logs in both events I figured out, that
cameraPerspective.MoveCameraToInstant(newPosition);

fires

Exoa.Events.CameraEvents.OnFocusStart
Exoa.Events.CameraEvents.OnFocusComplete

I need this function to move the cam by WASD as workaround, because your plugin ignores new inputsystem of unity.

If i disabled this line, flooding of events stopped

        private void Update()
        {
            var newPosition = Move(cameraPerspective.FinalOffset);
           // cameraPerspective.MoveCameraToInstant(newPosition);
        }

The given gameObject in Complete event is of course empty then. There is no focus 🙂

Is there maybe another (better) way to use WASD with pre-calculated vectors?

Anthony

Dennis Indeed RotateFromVector is sitll used, my apologies.

Here are 2 other fonctions you can add in CameraPerspective.cs that I will add in an upcoming update:

    public void ApplyPositionRotation(Vector3 p, Quaternion r)
    {
        finalOffset = CalculateOffset(p, r);
        finalDistance = CalculateDistance(p, r);
        finalRotation = r;
        finalPosition = p;

        ApplyToCamera();
    }

    public void ApplyRotation(Quaternion r)
    {
        finalRotation = r;
        ApplyToCamera();
    }

These are directly changing the position/rotation of the camera without waiting for the next frame and without triggering events.

Also there is a "CustomControl" demo scene in the last version that you can check to move/rotate the camera with keyboard inputs but it's using MoveCameraToInstant(). You can replace that with the functions above of course.

Hope that helps!

Dennis

thank you - solved with example in custom control demo scene
