camera shite coz i'm dumb

[honest ember]

@solar blaze here we are

[solar blaze]

so u need to make another emtpy game object called player holder inside man mesh

and putt all the player's body parts in it

the u need to pass that holder's transform to the camera script

[honest ember]

these body parts?

[solar blaze]

ya basically everything other than the camera

thats inside man mesh

so the heirarchy goes man mesh ->player holder-> all the player parts

[honest ember]

is that create empty or create empty parent?

[solar blaze]

same empty object

then in script bring back the line

public Transform Player;
``` at the beginning

camera script

[solar blaze]

oh its a prefap so u need to edit the main prefab itself

[honest ember]

which would be man_mesh right

[solar blaze]

ya but it should be in assets folder

in the project tab beside console

[honest ember]

yea it's

assets > adventure_character > Mesh > Man_Mesh

[solar blaze]

yes so u gotta edit the Man_Mesh main prefab so that in it the is another child and all the things other than the camera are inside that child

[honest ember]

i got the empty thing, but it isn't letting me move anything into it

[solar blaze]

send a screenshot

[honest ember]

after we've got this sorted I gotta figure out where to download animations and how to apply them to the character 💀

[solar blaze]

what u gotta figure out is how to learn this the proper way

[honest ember]

🤣 yes i agree

[solar blaze]

is this an assignment or something?

[honest ember]

for school?

[solar blaze]

like are u doing this cuz its fun or are u doing this cuz u have to

cuz if its the former i highly suggest u leave it for now and learn how the basics work first

[honest ember]

nah I'm 19 finished school, I have experience in making fivem servers and a little bit of lua experience but I didn't like the restrictions of my creativity and so I thought I'd find a game engine I like using (unity) and make my own game

I learn by doing not by reading, I can't read or even watch a tutorial on how to do something, I need people to walk me thru the basics like this and once I've got that then I just sorta pick everything else up myself

[solar blaze]

well unless u can create like a child and put everything into it idk if there is any other way

also why is it a prefab to begin with ? u only have 1 player

[honest ember]

idk it's just how it is when I imported the character

[solar blaze]

prefabs are good for when u need multiple instances of the same object

[honest ember]

like NPCs?

[solar blaze]

yes

like the same object multiple times

even buldings

light posts

roads etc

[honest ember]

ah

like this

[solar blaze]

yes

rn i dont think i can help u rotate the player unless ur able to make a child of it and put everything in there

cuz usually the camera is outside the main player object not a child of it

[honest ember]

is it not as simple as add another line or 2 to the camera script?

[solar blaze]

well it would be except that u have everything as a prefab so no

[honest ember]

is there a simple way to just not have it as a prefab

[solar blaze]

if u just rotate the entire man mesh rn the problem is that ur camera is also in the man mesh so ur camera would also be rotated

[solar blaze]

ya its to build it but since u imported assets its came as a prefab

one advantage is that animation is gonna be easier on this

but stuff like this becomes a pain

[honest ember]

what if I just take the camera out of the man mesh so they are seperate entities?

[honest ember]

yay? at least that's something

[solar blaze]

well if ur editor doesnt stop u from doing that cuz its just an instance of the prefab , the problem is ur camra wont follow ur player anymore cuz ur relying on the parent child connection to drag the camera along with the player

u would need further script to make the camera accurately follow

then as i mention u would need the vector lerp

3d isnt easy man

[honest ember]

clearly, my brain is rattled

my fivem server is also broken when it shouldn't be

[solar blaze]

here is my suggestion since u dont wanna do a tutorial, try small try to make a regular white capsule move and jump and rotate around like ur trying with a complex player mesh

then replace the capsule with the acutaly player mesh

[honest ember]

ok

[honest ember]

@solar blaze u know u said animations would be easier...
