Using Mathf.Clamp without effecting y axis.

Question

I have a script that makes my camera follow the mouse. Works fine but I want the camera to only be able to move so far so I used this.

transform.position = new Vector3(Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x, 1.5f, -1.4f), 0, -10);

It works to stop the camera from moving too far on the x axis but it also froze the y axis completely. I tried using another Mathf.Clamp again using transform.position.y but it made no difference. Anyone know how to fix this?

It looks like you're just passing a hardcoded 0 in for y. Shouldn't that be transform.position.y? — itsme86

Assuming you want the same values for y and z that you already have:

transform.position = new Vector3(Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x, 1.5f, -1.4f),
                                 transform.position.y,
                                 transform.position.z);

This way you're only changing the x value.
