public float distance = 10.0f; // Distance from the target object
public float rotationSpeed = 20.0f; // Speed of rotation around the target
public float yMinLimit = -20f; // Minimum vertical angle

// Make sure the target is set

}
// Initialize angles
Vector3 angles = transform.eulerAngles;
x = angles.y;
y = angles.x;
// Set the initial position of the camera
UpdateCameraPosition();
}
void Update()
{
// Automatically rotate the camera around the target
x += rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
// Optionally, add vertical oscillation if desired
// y = Mathf.PingPong(Time.time * rotationSpeed, yMaxLimit - yMinLimit) + yMinLimit;
// Clamp vertical rotation
y = Mathf.Clamp(y, yMinLimit, yMaxLimit);
// Rotate the camera around the target
Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(y, x, 0);
transform.rotation = rotation;
// Update the camera position
UpdateCameraPosition();
}
void UpdateCameraPosition()
{
// Set the camera position behind the target
Vector3 position = target.position - transform.forward * distance;
transform.position = position;
}
