Camera Changer

CameraChanger inspector.

CameraChanger iterates over all the Cameras in the VehicleCameras list and makes sure that only one camera is active at one time.

  • Attach CameraChanger component to the Cameras object. This should be an empty object that is a child of vehicle root.
  • Tick Auto Find Cameras or manually assign cameras to the Vehicle Cameras list. If Auto Find Cameras is enabled it is important that all the cameras are placed as children of the object containing CameraChanger script or otherwise they will not be auto-detected.
  • Cameras can be changed by pressing C (default value). Check Input Setup for more info.
