Change Camera target in game ..

[archieandrews]

Hi

I have trigger generic action that plays an animation and sets a custom camera state.

What would I would like to do with the custom camera state is have it track an object NOT the player. In my case a football

Objective: Penalty Kick:

Player kicks the ball - triggers a kick animation and sets custom camera state, ball is launched using physics add force. Works fine.

Custom camera state has a camera mode of fixed point, placed behind the goal area.

How can I then make that camera follow the ball as the target instead of the player?

Thanks

Would a solution be to edit line 333 of the vThirdPersonInput script?
By assigning a Gameobject.transform instead of this.transform and apply some logic to switch between maincam and the target object?

if (tpCamera)
{
tpCamera.SetMainTarget(this.transform); //edit this line??
tpCamera.Init();
}

On second thoughts after testing it kind of follows the ball but its following the balls rotation etc so its not a smooth pan. Maybe it will have to be a cutscene instead.

if (tpCamera)
{
tpCamera.SetMainTarget(this.transform); //edit this line??
tpCamera.Init();
}

Call the method SetMainTarget from the TpCamera and assign the transform you want as target

Btw you can do it using Events, no need to code at all if it's a simple situation
