Move Camera To Desired Position (Vector 3)

Vacation time: I will be on vacation from July 5th to July 15th, please don't expect any replies during that period. Thank you for your patience.

Move Camera To Desired Position (Vector 3)

Regarding the MoveCameraTo function, would it be possible to add options to

allow the user to pan the camera during an animated move (and break out of the animated move when they do so)
and/or set the speed of the animated move

My issue with it currently is, that it takes control away from the player for too long even after the move is seemingly complete already, which might also be good to be looked at (I'm assuming it's lerping some very small amounts there in the end which isn't really visible but still blocks user interaction?)

The "half life" variable let you change the animation speed. And as you are suggesting, I'm adding another parameter "distance from target to concider completed" to avoid the animation from blocking the user. It will be in the next update!

About stopping the focus if the user moves, this is not supported as it could need a lot of customization, but you could detect the user's input and call StopFollow() when you need to stop the animation.

Ah I missed the half life variable, thanks. OK, if I can stop the animation with StopFollow I'll look into doing it myself with that.

Now I'll just wait for the distance from target option to make it responsive to user's panning as soon as the animation is close enough to finished.

Thanks!

unitycoder_com I just published an update with teleporting on freecam

sakus the update has been published today If I'm not wrong, keep me posted 😉

Ha so it seems, awesome!

Seems to be working fine, I might not even have to completely cancel the animation after all, might be able to make it snappy yet smooth enough with these (working on a turn based strategy prototype where selecting an unit will center the camera on said unit, but I find myself wanting to start panning the view right away afterwards)

is there any updates on this I am trying to use free cam + OnClickMoveToObjPosition together to focus on points of a 3d model. I would like to create a orbit camera that can focus on positions. It works pretty well together but I notice that it prioritizes distance over position and rotation. When I click the focus button it does not go to the position unless the camera has zoomed

JoeDerpz - Did you manage to achieve this please?

The latest versions of TCP have the distance/position/rotation animations running in parallel, so I'm not sure to understand the issue you're having? Would you be able to send me a gif/video/demo scene?

This is the related code:

Hi, I essentially have the external view of large building, when I click on certain areas the camera moves and focuses using the focus on click script and the selectable by finger script. It works great for the most part, but I would like to control where the camera faces after it's transition, so it looks at the building from the outside. does that make sense? can I use a gameobject to focus on in the middle of the map, or set the final transform of the camera in the script?

Anthony

thehorry So basically there is one transition to smoothly move to the object then you need a "look at" transition to a different object, but keeping the same camera position (no move/zoom) is that correct?

thehorry

Anthony yes that sounds correct!

Anthony

thehorry there is actually no "look at" feature in TCP without moving the camera itself. What you would need to do is to disable the TCP components while you perform a transform.LookAt().
