I want to make a mouse look script, that moves my head, then at a point, moves my whole body. I can't figure it out

Question

I want to create a script, which controls my camera using my mouse, like a basic MouseLook script. But, I want the camera to move with the head, and when the head reaches a specific angle, I want the whole body to move... I can't figure it out. I have been using Unity for more then a year now, trying to finish this since MONTHS. I think it's about time I learn something more advanced. Any help appreciated, thank you!

Answer 1

Possible solution: (I guess that moving the camera == moving the head in your project)

You can get relative angle between head Transform.eulerAngles and body Transform.eulerAngles just using Vector3.Angle ( https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.Angle.html ) Then, in the Update method you can rotate your body manually, for example, Rigidbody.MoveRotation ( https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.MoveRotation.html ).

You can also lerp this rotation to make it smoothly. (I can help you more presizeliy if you add some code)

And 7 months later, I'M BACK!

public GameObject playerHead;
public GameObject character;

void Update()
{
    //check if the head is at a specific angle and if the mouse is moving
    if (playerHead.transform.localRotation.x >= 0.59f && Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") < 0) {
        //rotate the body at the speed of the mouse
        transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, Input.GetAxis("Mouse X"), 0));
    //repeat
    } else if (playerHead.transform.localRotation.x <= -0.59f && Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") > 0) {
        transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, Input.GetAxis("Mouse X"), 0));
    }
}
