description

Unity Scene View + Game Camera control. Use when users want to move/rotate the editor view, create or configure scene cameras, change FOV / clip planes / culling mask, switch orthographic vs perspective, or capture a screenshot. Triggers (EN): Unity camera, scene camera, Game Camera, Scene View, viewport, FOV, field of view, near/far clip, culling mask, orthographic, perspective, look at, align view, screenshot, render to file. Triggers (ZH): 相机, 摄像机, 视角, 视野, 场景视图, 游戏相机, 截图, 渲染截图, 正交, 透视, 裁剪面, 剔除遮罩.

Camera Skills

Control the Scene View camera and Game Cameras (creation, transform, properties, screenshot, culling, orthographic toggle).

Operating Mode

• Approval (default): mutating skills (camera_set_transform, camera_create, camera_set_properties, camera_set_culling_mask, camera_screenshot, camera_set_orthographic, camera_align_view_to_object, camera_look_at) need user grant; grant triggers a single server-side execution that returns the result.
• Auto / Bypass: those skills execute directly.
• Query skills (camera_get_info, camera_get_properties, camera_list) are SkillMode.SemiAuto — they run in all three modes without grant.
• This module contains no Delete / PlayMode / Reload / high-risk skills (no NeverInSemi).

Guardrails

DO NOT (common hallucinations):

• camera_move / camera_rotate do not exist → use camera_set_transform (Scene View) or gameobject_set_transform (Game Camera)
• camera_set_fov does not exist → use camera_set_properties with fieldOfView parameter
• camera_* skills control two different cameras: camera_set_transform/camera_look_at/camera_align_view_to_object control the Scene View camera; camera_create/camera_set_properties/camera_screenshot control Game Cameras
• camera_delete does not exist → use gameobject_delete on the camera GameObject

Routing:

• For Cinemachine virtual cameras → use cinemachine module
• For Game Camera component properties → camera_set_properties / camera_get_properties (this module)
• For scene screenshots → scene_screenshot (scene module) uses the Scene View; camera_screenshot uses a Game Camera

Skills

camera_align_view_to_object

Align Scene View camera to look at an object. Parameters:

• name (string, optional): Target GameObject name.
• instanceId (int, optional): Target GameObject instance ID.
• path (string, optional): Target GameObject hierarchy path.

camera_get_info

Get Scene View camera position and rotation. Parameters: None.

camera_set_transform

Set Scene View camera position/rotation manually. Parameters:

• posX, posY, posZ (float): Position.
• rotX, rotY, rotZ (float): Rotation (Euler).
• size (float, optional): Orthographic size or pivot distance (default 5).
• instant (bool, optional): Move instantly (default true).

camera_look_at

Focus Scene View camera on a world-space point. Parameters:

• x, y, z (float): Target point.
• Does not support targetName or GameObject lookup. For object focus, use camera_align_view_to_object.

bgR	float?	No	null	Background color red component
bgG	float?	No	null	Background color green component
bgB	float?	No	null	Background color blue component

Returns: { success, name }

camera_set_culling_mask

Set Game Camera culling mask by layer names (comma-separated).

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
layerNames	string	Yes	-	Comma-separated layer names
name	string	No	null	Name of the camera GameObject
instanceId	int	No	0	Instance ID of the camera GameObject
path	string	No	null	Hierarchy path of the camera GameObject

Returns: { success, cullingMask }

camera_screenshot

Capture a screenshot from a Game Camera to file.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description

camera_set_orthographic

Switch Game Camera between orthographic and perspective mode.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
orthographic	bool	Yes	-	True for orthographic, false for perspective
orthographicSize	float?	No	null	Orthographic size (only applies in orthographic mode)
name	string	No	null	Name of the camera GameObject
instanceId	int	No	0	Instance ID of the camera GameObject
path	string	No	null	Hierarchy path of the camera GameObject

Returns: { success, orthographic, orthographicSize }

camera_list
