Install the bevythirdperson_camera crate:
cargo install bevy_third_person_camera
Add the third person plugin:
rust
.add_plugins(ThirdPersonCameraPlugin)
Add the ThirdPersonCamera component to the camera entity:
rust
commands.spawn((
ThirdPersonCamera::default(),
Camera3dBundle::default()
));
Add the ThirdPersonCameraTarget component to your player:
rust
// Player
commands.spawn((
PbrBundle {
mesh: meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube::new(1.0))),
material: materials.add(Color::BLUE.into()),
transform: Transform::from_xyz(0.0, 0.5, 0.0),
..default()
},
ThirdPersonCameraTarget,
Player,
));
That's it!
Most settings can be overridden:
rust
let gamepad = Gamepad::new(0);
commands.spawn((
ThirdPersonCamera {
cursor_lock_key: KeyCode::Space,
enable_cursor_lock_toggle: true,
lock_cursor: true,
mouse_sensitivity: 2.0,
zoom_bounds: (1.0, 10.0),
zoom_sensitivity: 1.0,
gamepad_settings: CustomGamepadSettings {
x_sensitivity: 7.0,
y_sensitivity: 4.0,
zoom_in_button: GamepadButton::new(gamepad, GamepadButtonType::DPadUp),
zoom_out_button: GamepadButton::new(gamepad, GamepadButtonType::DPadDown),
},
..default()
},
Camera3dBundle::default(),
));
The cursor lock feature allows the mouse cursor to toggle between a locked, hidden state, to an unlocked, visible state. When unlocked, the orbiting feature is disabled, thus allowing the cursor to move freely within the window without disrupting the camera's transform. This feature can be fully disabled by setting the enablecursorlock_toggle value to false and will keep the cursor locked and hidden.
