How to Clamp Camera Rotation Axis Correctly in Unity

In the world of game development, ensuring smooth and controlled camera movement is pivotal for an engaging user experience. However, many developers encounter issues when trying to clamp the rotation of a camera, resulting in unexpected jumps back and forth in rotation values. If you've faced similar challenges in Unity, you're not alone.

The Problem: Jumping Rotation Values

A common scenario occurs when you attempt to clamp the camera's X and Y axis rotations. You might find that reaching the maximum threshold abruptly flips back to the minimum threshold instead of smoothly transitioning. This problem can be frustrating and can negatively impact gameplay.

Here’s a piece of code reflecting the situation:

Why Is This Happening?

The issue arises because the angle values in Unity work within -180 to 180 degrees or 0 to 360 degrees. Clamping these angles naively without normalizing can cause the abrupt jumps you've experienced.

The Solution: Properly Clamping Angles

To tackle this issue effectively, you need to normalize the angle values before clamping. Here’s a robust way to implement angle clamping in Unity:

Step 1: Create a ClampAngle Method

This method normalizes the input angles so they are within a manageable range.

Step 2: Integrate ClampAngle into Your Rotation Code

You can now use the ClampAngle method in your existing ClimbingLookRotation function:

Final Words

By normalizing your angles, you allow for smooth transitions between the minimum and maximum thresholds without abrupt flipping. This small change can make a significant difference in the overall feel and control of your camera mechanics.
