this camera is driving me crazy.
#jerky camera making me annoyed

- not parented to the player in any way
- configuration of both components in the camera
- camera controller's code
- "lock camera to head" code

Never multiply mouse input with Time.deltaTime. This actually makes it different speed at different length frames, causing the jerkiness you see
Here's more info on that https://unity.huh.how/mouse-input-and-deltatime
After you remove that make sure to make your sensitivity multipliers about 50-100x smaller

thank you osmal ❤️
i feel like an idiot now lol
been struggling with this for about an hour
now i just need to get rid of the lag that seems to be present for no reason

This mouse-deltatime thing is one of the most common mistakes because of some big youtubers (like Brackeys) pushed it and also ChatGPT suggests it without a fail
minor solstice
i think i actually got it from just thinking "oh yeah, i should just multiply everything by deltatime 😃! for no reason! good job me :D"
and when i was struggling with it i ended up caving and asking chatgpt which didnt friggin help obviously :/
topaz gale
Yeah it's something I actually did too many years ago (before brackeys and LLMs) because it sounded like the right thing to do lol

Is it actual framerate lag or just the camera feeling laggy?
earnest garden
also, configure your ide

can't tell yet
minor solstice
i dont have autocomplete code enabled
mainly because i like to actually use my brain and suffer from my mistakes
earnest garden
this isn't about the AI suggestions
minor solstice
oh yeah
earnest garden
it's autocomplete per-word
minor solstice
errors are underlined in red, yes
earnest garden
probably just syntax errors
it's clearly not configured properly
you don't have proper syntax highlighting
try doing transform.position = 0;, see if that errors

It clearly doesn't know anything about the unity types (UnityEngine, MonoBehaviour, Vector3 should be different color)
minor solstice
earnest garden
that looks like it's outside the class
that would be a syntax error
put it in Start
you should have this kind of autocomplete box - this is called intellisense, it doesn't write code for you, it just helps you write code faster
(if the icon on the left is just abc, that's not configured properly.)

i assume cameraPosition is taken from the player? this should be done in LateUpdate so it's up-to-date with the player's position in the current frame
(or you could have the camera be a child of the player, tbh)
minor solstice
for some weird reason when the camera is the child of the player i cannot look up or down
earnest garden
if orientation is also the player transform, you'd need to set its rotation first, and then set the current rotation (or use local rotations)
