About OrbitalCam

The OrbitalCam is a highly customizable and easy-to-use camera asset. It consists of a Rig with the main camera component and one or more input components.

The system supports both the Legacy Input Manager and the New Input System Package. Keyboard, mouse, touch, and UI buttons all work on either.

For more information check out the explanation of all the Controls or read the Island City Builder example.

You can also read the OrbitalCameraSystem class reference for the full docs, or dive into the Public API if you need to control the OrbitalCam from other scripts.
