🎯 ZionTPS

Camera System

ZionTPS includes a third-person camera foundation designed for gameplay readability and smooth player control.

The camera works together with the movement system to support camera-relative locomotion.

Camera Responsibilities

• following the player
• orbit or look input
• pitch and yaw control
• camera-relative movement direction
• readable third-person framing

Typical Setup

• main camera
• follow target
• look or pivot target
• player reference
• configured camera sensitivity values

Behaviour Goals

The ZionTPS camera should feel:

• smooth
• predictable
• easy to tune
• readable during movement
• stable during quick direction changes

Tuning Advice

When tuning the camera, focus on:

• follow smoothness
• orbit sensitivity
• pitch limits
• shoulder feel and framing
• how closely movement direction follows the camera

Make one change at a time and test it in a simple scene before judging the result.

Common Problems

Camera does not follow correctly

• target references are assigned
• follow target exists in the scene
• the camera rig is complete
• another camera script is not fighting for control

Movement feels disconnected from camera angle

• movement is using the active camera basis
• look input is updating correctly
• the player rotation model matches your intended control scheme
