cameraRotation, cameraDirection & camera.getTarget(), what is the difference?

[fateriddle 3]

I'm pretty confused right now. 

1. Is camera.cameraDirection a vector of where camera is pointing?

2. Then setTarget/getTarget is doing the same thing? to point the camera to the direction of the target?

3. And to rotate a camera is also trying to point a camera to some direction, no?

So what is the difference?

btw, I'm trying to add customized input to camera.inputs to control which direction it is pointing for a shooter game.

i dont understand...

target is like focus a specific mesh..

rotation is just rotating THE camera?

how is that THE same?

How do you find where the camera is pointing now? @droggam

I cant check right now in pc but Wat ur asking is really basics... Think of cam as another mesh u can rotate it position and manage its direction in animations examples😋

Maybe what you want is

Camera.getForwardRay().direction;

1. Is camera.cameraDirection a vector of where camera is pointing?Nope it is the direction to where the camera goes

2. Then setTarget/getTarget is doing the same thing? to point the camera to the direction of the target? setTarget will update cameraRotation

3. And to rotate a camera is also trying to point a camera to some direction, no? yes this is correct. You can either set a target or change camera rotation
