Third Person Camera for DOTS

Welcome to the documentation of Third Person Camera for DOTS!

Before you get started, here's a quick overview of the features of this asset.

Camera Controller

The main force of this asset. This controller handles occlusion to the target and makes sure to adapt to any situation to keep the target in view while also showing as much of the game world as possible.

There is a wide range of options for the controller:

  • Occlusion Check

    A spherical collision algorithm makes sure the camera doesn't clip into any geometry.

  • Smart Pivot:

    When the camera hits the ground or on a certain angle, instead of moving towards the player character obscuring the view, the controller will pivot upwards. SmartPivot

  • Thickness Check:

    Ignore small obstacles without manually fine tuning assets. The controller automatically calculates the mesh thickness of objects caught in the occlusion vector. ThicknessCheck

Free Look
