I missed this in the video at 4:13, you need to drag the main camera into the door script in Unity. Alternatively you can add this code to your Door.cs script to avoid doing this step: private void Awake() { cam = Camera.main.GetComponent(); }

[@Elijahsing1]

omgg thank you! I almost got to that solution on my own and then i wasnt sure if that was it! thanks for the amazing tutorials! I tried to start learning video game development almost a year ago and gave up quickly feeling rather overwhelmed. I am having a great time following your tutorial so far! thanks!!

[@nimishbansal4752]

Why did we add RigidBody to our Door??

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

@@nimishbansal4752 Ultra late reply, sorry. An object needs a rigidbody to register collisions, in the Door script we have OnTriggerEnter2D and it doesn't work if we don't have a RB component.

[@heroweasel790]

At 3:26 you say to delete the left wall after duplicating the rooms, makes sense. I was unable to pass between the rooms because you didnt tell us to resize the box collider for the left wall segments we deleted. I figured it out on my own eventually. I just want to say this has been an excellent tutorial series. Very educational. I would request that you dial back the speed on the code and unity editing. Sometimes I miss little things as they happen so fast; I mean sometimes I just need an extra second to pause so I can look at stuff. Wonderful content, thanks again.

For anyone trying to change the camera on the Y level here's an easy solution! // Update is called once per frame Create a Variable called currentPosY , In the MovetoNewRoom set currentPosY to equal the _newroom's Y position and add 0.53(may vary) to center your camera. Hope this helps someone! took me hours to realize how easy it was! void Update() { transform.position = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, new Vector3 (currentPosX, currentPosY, transform.position.z), ref velocity, speed); } public void MoveToNewRoom(Transform _newRoom) { currentPosX = _newRoom.position.x; currentPosY = _newRoom.position.y + 0.53f; }

How would I go about creating a mix of both? A camera that follows the player when it is inside a room, but stop at the edges of said room & does not leave unless the player crosses the door? (Potentially with a black screen transition) I don't know if I'm asking for too much, haha.

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

This one could be interesting to tackle but I don't have an easy answer for now. You could set the X position lower limit and upper limit in the Room script and pass that to the camera and then clamp it's position based on that.

Hi! Love the videos! Just a quick question, I want to change the size of my character - if I change the scale once I move anywhere it changes back to original scale.

[@lukspie]

Hi, I have a problem.. My camera moves itself.. It should move only when I pass the doors but it happens already when I start the game.. any fix?

[@pub2409]

I have a fix for the camera not panning correctly on your Room1 or Room2. When you click on Room1 or Room2 attach an icon and you will see that it may be off-center from the actual room and that's why the camera is not focusing on the whole room properly. (Cutting off parts of the room and keeping them from being visible.) You know we dragged the Room1 object into the door script for previous room and Room2 for Next Room. I can't change the position of the icon without moving everything else inside the room. So what I did was made an empty object called "Room1Cam" and gave it an icon and placed it in the center of Room1. Then I made an empty object called "Room2Cam" and again placed it in the center of Room2. I then dragged the "Room1Cam" and placed in the door script for Previous room and did the same with "Room2Cam" and Next Room. Maybe this is a bit of a long explanation but it's an easy fix. I hope this makes sense.

Don't know if i missed this in the video, but if someone has the problem of the camera not centering on the first room on game start, just add the start() method to camera control and add the first room as SerilaizeInput

[SerializeField] private Transform firstRoom; // new variable to store the position of the first room private void Start() { // set the initial camera position to focus on the first room currentPosX = firstRoom.position.x; }

[@KisameBG]

Great tutorial as always. I have a problem with my camera since i have levels that go up and down. I managed to make the camera go up like that - if(player.position.y > 4) { transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, player.position.y, transform.position.z); } (no idea if it's a right way or not) but for some reason i can't make it go down afterwards. Any ideas?

[@thesilentwisp]

What I ended up doing was making a new lookAhead variable and putting in this code: transform.position = new Vector3(player.position.x + lookAhead, player.position.y + lookAhead2, transform.position.z); lookAhead = Mathf.Lerp(lookAhead, (aheadDistance * player.localScale.x), Time.deltaTime * cameraSpeed); lookAhead2 = Mathf.Lerp(lookAhead2, (aheadDistance * player.localScale.y), Time.deltaTime * cameraSpeed);

What would be the best way to stabilize the camera movement on the x axis while the player is climbing. Is an if statement who checks for the Layer the right way?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Not sure I got your question. If you're climbing a ladder the camera movement on X axis should be static since you're moving vertically not horizontally. Maybe you meant on the Y axis? It would be easier if you sent me more details on the Discord DM.

Is there a way to set boundaries for the camera? I want it to follow the player but when walk towards the wall on the left at the start the camera shift off screen. And then half the screen is black. So I am looking to have the camera follow the player but for it not to pane off the level board.

[@naejimba]

^This. Basically set boundaries where the camera can't move past that point. Anyone figured it out yet?

[@PanRaptor13]

I have a problem, In my project I wanted to use the camera following the player, everything works okay, but I have a problem with the look ahead setting, once game starts it instantly pans to the right (depending on the ahead distance, if i have 5, then by five, if i have by -5 it goes to the left). Instead it should happen only when I move, do you know what may be the issue?

[@scorpiusjones5436]

Honestly I think this means it's functioning properly. Mine does the same, and it looks like the video is same also. This cam option auto looks ahead, whie the first method only moves when you pass through a 2d trigger.

[@mischievoussaw]

hello there, i hope you still respond the comments. i have problem witm room camera. the camera takes me to weird position in the 2nd room(not the center), and upon returning back to the previous room, the camera becomes slightly shifted to the right. i hope u can provide any solution of that.

[@KingsNerdCave]

Loving these tutorials thank you for them. Question though, when my player goes through the first door the camera only shifts over 1/4 of the next room .What is it I could be missing?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

The camera goes to the position of the Room2 object, so I believe that you either: a) Placed another object into the NextRoom reference field b) Didn't center all the object in Room2(the parent object is a bit more to the right but the walls, background etc is a bit more to the left) c) Missed something in the code.

question why do you make [SerializeField]private float speed when you can just make it public for same effect?

Public would work too, but public variables are also exposed to other scripts therefore you can change the speed somewhere in the code and completely forget about it and go crazy trying to find the issue. Keeping variables private is a good practice

Hi I got some problems on the camera. When it moves, it tends to stop on a point which is on the right side of the center of the room, which makes the scene a little bit weird cuz I can't see the wall on the left side

[@hatestorm16]

Captain too late here, but try changing the `MoveToNewRoom` method to this ` currentPosX = _newRoom.localPosition.x;`. Apparently `position` takes the global value, while localPosition takes the local value of the room, which will center it properly.

[@The_McLaughlin]

Minor question. Everything is working. I'd prefer to have the camera follow the player as discussed in the 2nd half and its working fine. But once the secondary code was entered in even with the // on the code moving the camera from room to room. Unity is still acting like its trying to read that code over the player movement camera and is giving me a "NullRefrenceException: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object". I've tried removing the door script from the doors, and fully removing the doors. I've even tried removing the parts on the camera movement script referencing the doors just leaving what is needed for the camera to follow the player. However removing the code gives me an error that makes it unplayable so I just added it back in and have just been ignoring the NuffRefrenceException error. Everything is working fine it seems regardless as I'm pretty sure its just referring to the door reference which again I'm not using. Its just more of an annoyance seeing it in the bottom of the Unity Window. How would I modify the code to not break it, or what would I need to remove in unity to so it stops trying to reference the doors. I didn't want to try and delete the door script all together, I know I could rewrite it but seeing as removing the code referencing it broke the script I figured doing so would probably also just break the code. So I'm clearly not removing the correct aspects of the code.

[@The_McLaughlin]

If it helps for more information. When I attempt to remove the room camera codes leaving everything else I get the error: "The name currentPosX does not exist in the current context" Which was referring to the move to new room bit when the camera was tied to the room. So I removed that bit and get the error "CameraController does not contain a definition for MoveToNewRoom and no accessible extension method accepting a first argument of type CameraController could be found(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference)" The line it refers to for the error has no code on it though so my only guess is that its referencing the door script. which isn't referenced in the code once the by room code has been removed and removing the elements in unity attached to the door script don't fix the issue either. Not sure if I'm explaining it well. I've only been using unity for a few weeks and I'm new to coding as well... so none of it is my strong suit. There's probably an easy solution that's just going over my head.

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

If you don't need the doors you can just remove that object and it should solve it, no?

[@The_McLaughlin]

@@PandemoniumGameDev It wasn't initially it was giving me the nullrefrence error I mentioned previously but was still working properly. However I opened Unity again later with the doors saved as removed and the error had disappeared. So restarting Unity got the error to go away.

Because when the camera switches between rooms, it doesn't center itself, but it starts out centered. edit: I found a very ugly solution that should be enough for now, but just for the future, how do you ensure the room object is centralized (The 5.03f increment adjusts for the off center camera), (the counter tracks how many times the rooms have been switched, saying that if no rooms have been switched, the camera will be at it's default position, because for some reason it starts out properly centered) public void toNextRoom(Transform _nextRoom) { counter++; if(_nextRoom.name == "Room1" && (counter == 1)){ currentXPosition = _nextRoom.position.x; } else if(_nextRoom.name == "Room1" && (counter > 1)) { currentXPosition = _nextRoom.position.x + 5.03f; } else { currentXPosition = _nextRoom.position.x + 5.03f; } }

Bejamin, I figured it out. Now excuse my lack of terminology, but hopefully I will be able to explain it. The "door" trigger takes in the x value of the previous and next room. The way you have your sprite objects scaled, it is most likely that they are float type values(15.7, 17.7, etc), so because you start off on a value of 0, when you trigger the nextRoom event, the camera movement centers on the x pozition of that said gameObject which you have assigned it(presumably Room2), but since the value of said gameObject is not even with the previous one, the result is an uncentered camera. To fix this, simply create a gameObject within the hierarchy of the room and centralize its position within the specific Room you have issues with. Hopefully this helps, even though I came quite late with the solution.

Have you tried to change the order in Layer field in the Sprite Render

[@MazeMazeGaming]

Not sure where my mistake is... Each time my Player touches the Door (or later the Saw), the Player falls downwards continuously. The camera movement works, but the player cannot get past the doors collision box. Please help!

Hey, first of all thanks for helping me find an awesome game! That being said the game is very complex, making a tutorial on it would take ages, any particular aspect of it you're interested in? Map movement? Battles? Inventory?

hi so i skipped the intire video to the camera follow player did i miss anything big or nothing major?

You skipped everything in this video until the player follow implementation? No I don't think you missed anything vital but you might as well speedwatch it, it's only 8 minutes.

[@harley_randelo]

i can't figure out why i have an error. near the start on the - transform.position = Vector2.SmoothDamp( - line, it says that: Assets\camera_controller.cs(14,130): error CS1503: Argument 3: cannot convert from 'ref UnityEngine.Vector3' to 'ref UnityEngine.Vector2' i don't know what is wrong with it apart from that it is the ref velocity part. here is my lines of code: [SerializeField] private float speed; private float posX; private Vector3 velocity = Vector3.zero; private void Update() { transform.position = Vector2.SmoothDamp(transform.position, new Vector3(posX, transform.position.y, transform.position.z), ref velocity, speed * Time.deltaTime); } would really appreciate some help.

Is there a way to check the box Is Trigger through c#?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Yeah, you can get access to the collider component and modify the Collider.isTrigger property.

[@ldmdesign5610]

[SOLVED] I've been going through the tutorials without issues, now when i opened my game, all the animations are suddenly flickering. when I check through the keyframes, some of the frames are just blank. in the inspector for example idle_02 is selected for frame 2, but on the screen that frame just makes the sprite disappear. It's happening with the player and the fireball animations. I try reselecting the correct sprite frame in the renderer, and even though the actual image file is fine, it just does the same thing. If anyone else gets this just set the player and fireball 'order in layer' to 1. I guess the issues is some frames decided to show behind the background

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

The background sprites are supposed to be on a different layer altogether, which should solve this issue.

It doesn't work. I copied your code on both 'Door' and 'CameraController' but it still doesn't work. I duplicated the room like you did in the video. The camera doesn't go fully to the second room. It actually barely even moves. I checked other comments and none of them worked for me. I thought it might be better for the camera to follow the player, but when I tried to do "transform.position.y' and change it to "player.position.y" it says that "player" doesn't work in that context. I need help.

In some cases. I wanted to teach the basics of using camera in this tutorial and not rely on external tools.

sure. that is better for learning

[@thatonerusski]

Something happened, basically A: I cant jump in the first room B: I cant go through the door Are there any fixes for this??

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

A: Check if the ground object in the first floor has the Ground tag and layer assigned. B: You probably forgot to make the door collider a trigger, that should do the trick.

[@thatonerusski]

@@PandemoniumGameDev Thanks, the jumping mechanic now works, but the doors boxcollider2d is set as a trigger, but it still doesnt let me through, the camera switching works though

i figured it out, it's not the door that's blocking it, it's the left wall boxcollider, you have to edit it and drag it into the correct position
