Hello. I'm new to the forum and would like your help on something. Basically I want to say I am beginner in programming in language C++, I read a whole book on Java and learned enough. I've also learned from video on Youtube and also know how to work as a novice in Unity.

I would like to build a little game in Unity in which there will be an item (a bike) that will take command of the keyboard with the right arrow to move forward. The game is basically 2D. I just need to figure out the logic. And also the camera is fixed on the object and follow it and the background is a painting that changes accordingly. How can it happen? Playing it as reminiscent of the ones with motorbikes just the buttons you have to get to the end of the track, but it is 2D. Like similar games in miniclip.com

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I can't understand about this code. I have to use it in Unity and enter it at the camera in a script? Sorry but I do not know too much about programming, I'm a newbie. I want the camera to follow the object in Unity. And how the object will move by pressing the right arrow on the keyboard?

Thanks again :)

For my game I did it like this (i did mine in C++ but the concept should be the same):

You have two rectangles: a viewport, that's the area that's supposed to be visible, basically the whole area of the window/screen, and the boundaries of your level.

The center of the viewport is the spot the camera is "looking at". So if you set the cameras centerpoint to the players centerpoint in every frame, it will follow the player.

All you need to do is keep the viewport in the boundaries of the level and then when drawing the player draw him at his current position minus the distance of the viewports left side to the left side of your level boundary.

Like in the attached picture

xOffset = cameraCenter.x - (viewportWidth / 2) - bounds.left;

yOffset = cameraCenter.y - (viewportHeight / 2) - bounds.top

Something like that. I'm not sure if this is 100% correct but it should get you started.

Okay, thank you very much everyone! I did not expect an immediate response so quickly :) I'm pretty happy. If I need something will post it here.

Thanks again

Hello again. This is the final view of the game I want to make. Check the photos (links) to see what I have create and what was that I talked about.

In Main Camera the script is Smooth Follow.js that is included in Unity.

Thank you all again ;)

If there is any point of view, I need immediately

Now the Object (cube) moves right and left.

PS: Sorry for my English

Hi, I don't think you need the Smooth Follow.js. Have you tried moving the camera object to be a child of the cube object and removing the smooth follow script? If you do that the camera should just follow the cube movement exactly if that is what you want.

Yes Rorakin, this is exactly what I want and more ok for my game. But also the Smooth Follow is ok. No problem. I have understand now the whole situation :)
