A camera controller for easily flying around a scene in Unity smoothly. WASD for lateral movement, Space & Ctrl for vertical movement, Shift to move faster. Add this script to an existing camera, or an empty game object, hit play, and you're ready to go~
using UnityEngine;
[RequireComponent( typeof(Camera) )]
public class FlyCamera : MonoBehaviour {
public float acceleration = 50; // how fast you accelerate
public float accSprintMultiplier = 4; // how much faster you go when "sprinting"
public float lookSensitivity = 1; // mouse look sensitivity
public float dampingCoefficient = 5; // how quickly you break to a halt after you stop your input
public bool focusOnEnable = true; // whether or not to focus and lock cursor immediately on enable
Vector3 velocity; // current velocity
static bool Focused {
get => Cursor.lockState == CursorLockMode.Locked;
set {
Cursor.lockState = value ? CursorLockMode.Locked : CursorLockMode.None;
Cursor.visible = value == false;
}
}
void OnEnable() {
if( focusOnEnable ) Focused = true;
}
void OnDisable() => Focused = false;
void Update() {
// Input
if( Focused )
UpdateInput();
else if( Input.GetMouseButtonDown( 0 ) )
Focused = true;
// Physics
velocity = Vector3.Lerp( velocity, Vector3.zero, dampingCoefficient * Time.deltaTime );

}
void UpdateInput() {
// Position

// Rotation
Vector2 mouseDelta = lookSensitivity * new Vector2( Input.GetAxis( "Mouse X" ), -Input.GetAxis( "Mouse Y" ) );

Awesome to test scenes, works perfectly. Thank you so much!
