CameraController

The CameraController script is responsible for handling the camera's movement in the game, following the player while also adjusting the background parallax effect.

Properties

  • instance: A singleton instance of the CameraController class.
  • target: The Transform of the target object the camera should follow (usually the player).
  • farBackground: The Transform of the far background layer.
  • middleBackground: The Transform of the middle background layer.
  • minHeight: The minimum height (Y-axis value) the camera should follow the target.
  • maxHeight: The maximum height (Y-axis value) the camera should follow the target.
  • lastPos: The last recorded position of the camera.
  • stopFollow: A boolean flag to indicate if the camera should stop following the target.

Methods

Awake()

This method initializes the instance property as a singleton instance of the CameraController class.

Start()

This method is called before the first frame update. It initializes the lastPos property with the initial position of the camera.

Update()

This method is called once per frame. If the stopFollow flag is set to false, the following actions are performed:

  1. Update the camera's position to follow the target's X-axis value, while clamping its Y-axis value between minHeight and maxHeight.
  2. Calculate the amount of movement the camera has made since the last frame.
  3. Update the positions of the farBackground and middleBackground layers according to the camera's movement to create a parallax effect.
  4. Update the lastPos property with the current position of the camera.
