How to move camera thats attached to player
I'm trying to recreate a dolphin dive type of feel, as of right now my character is a cube with no animation so I feel like the best way to do this would be to manually move the camera as if the character had just dolphin dived but every time I try to move the camera the entire player itself moves.
Code:
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.C) && isSprinting) {
for (float i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
var forceForward = 8f;
if (isGrounded == true && moveVertical != 0) {
_rgb.AddForce(fpsCam.transform.forward * forceForward);
for (float j = 0; j <= 10; j++) {
_camera.AddForce(Vector3.up * 3f);
}
}
}
}
if you need any more information let me know!
_rgb
_camera
And what does "camera attached" mean?

I only wrote that much code to avoid writing out a bunch of code that's not necessary to my question I avoided it, _rgb is the rigidbody for my player, and I also added a rigidbody to the camera, turned gravity off, and made it kinematic hoping I could move the rigid body of the camera and not the player but it didn't work. so _rgb is the rigid body to the player, and _camera is the rigid body for the camera. And when I say camera attached, keep in mind I'm new to unity, so theres probably a different word for it but It just means I've attached the camera to the player object

If you want a shortcut, you can make the camera gameobject a child of the player game object. This way it will move with the player.
I end up doing this surprisingly often. Possible pitfalls include accidentally deleting the player object between scenes, especially to non-game scenes like a main menu, and forgetting to move the camera by relative rather than absolute coordinates afterwards

There are situations where this isn't the best solution though so I can see why he would ask this question. For example, if you wanted the camera to lag slightly behind the player. In that case, you would require a more complex solution.

@RodrigoRodrigues "move the player..." The Q tries to move the cam in some way without moving also the player.
