Username Object

[idle cedar]

hey, my problem is that i have the Username Canvas attached to my players head and i have no idea how to make it rotate to the others players camera

in my player prefab im also holding the Camera Holder

which has a script on it that disables that object if your not the owner

so how would i go about making the Username Canvas on some OTHER player rotate towards your camera, below you can see i tried something but its not quite working for all players

@cyan crag sorry to @ you, respond whenever you're free but let me know if you could come up with something

[cyan crag]

So you should have only one camera in the game, the one for the local player. You can directly get that and follow it

[idle cedar]

should i delete the Camera Holder of other players then?

instead of disabling it

[cyan crag]

The Camera Holder is fine, you can just reference the main camera from the component

Or simply have a script on it

[idle cedar]

im not sure i understand

i already have a script on the Camera Holder which holds the Camera component

[cyan crag]

Simply put, you can get the Camera with Camera.main

It's easy then for the text to follow that

[idle cedar]

but i need OTHER cameras to follow that object

not my own

[cyan crag]

The cameras don't follow, the text does

Remember, there should only be one actual camera

For the local player

That's why it's best to have the camera start in the scene or instantiated at run-time

[idle cedar]

yeah, im trying to get the Username Canvas to rotate towards the Camera Holder

but not for me but for the other player

[cyan crag]

Right, there should be one Camera, have the text rotate to face it

[idle cedar]

so i can use Camera.main?

but i would have to remove the tag

from the ones i dont own

[cyan crag]

Again, there should only be one

[idle cedar]

so just delete the other one?

[cyan crag]

Even if just for the sake of performance

[cyan crag]

I'd recommend only creating one for the local player/grabbing it from the scene

[idle cedar]

so i can still keep my Camera Holder in my player prefab?

just remove the actual Camera from there

[cyan crag]

Yep

[idle cedar]

yeah that makes more sense

cause i still need my Camera Holder to be networked

im holding a head target in there for example of where the head ik should look

and that has a network transform

[idle cedar]

so just have this

and then i can just parent it to the Camera Holder?

when the player spawns

by just grabbing Camera.main

something like this

and then i can simply make the text rotate towards Camera.main since there is only 1

https://hastebin.com/share/najavojesa.csharp

does that look right then?

there is only 1 camera now, and it gets parented to the Camera Holder when the game starts

[cyan crag]

That should be good

[idle cedar]

its not setting the parent tho

[cyan crag]

Did you add code for that?

[idle cedar]

yup

private void Initialize()
{
    if (IsOwner)
    {
        Transform cam = Camera.main.transform;
        Debug.Log(cam);
        cam.SetParent(CameraHolder);

        cam.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
        cam.localRotation = Quaternion.identity;
        cam.localScale = Vector3.one;
    }
    else
    {
        gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }
}```

i placed a debug to see if its finding it and it is

[cyan crag]

What's that on?

[idle cedar]

my Camera Holder

in the PlayerCameraController script

and Initialize is called in OnStartClient

if i put it in start it works

but i cant have it in start

oh

its because my "loading" scene has a camera as well

and its grabbing that one

because my scene manager first loads the new scene THEN unloads the loading scene

yup now its working

i removed the camera from my loading scene and my bootstrap scene

cause they were getting destroyed, just too late
