description: Control Unity Scene View and Game cameras

> **Before calling any skill in this module:** if you are about to call a skill with parameters guessed from its name or description, STOP — read this file (or fetch its schema via `GET /skills/recommend?includeSchema=true`) first. If you already have the parameter definitions from recommend/schema, you may proceed straight to dryRun.

Triggers

• Framing the Scene View
• Creating or adjusting cameras
• Tweaking FOV or clipping planes
• 取景 Scene View、创建或调整相机、修改 FOV 或裁剪面

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_sceneview_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 screenshots → three options: `scene_screenshot` (scene module) = the **Game View** final composite (all cameras + UI; Play mode = live runtime frame); `camera_screenshot` (this module) = a **single Game Camera** off-screen render; `camera_sceneview_screenshot` (this module) = the **editor Scene View** (developer viewport, incl. grid/gizmos)

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 **the editor Scene View viewport camera's** position and rotation — the developer's viewport, *not* a Camera component in the scene. It takes no target parameters for exactly that reason. For a Game Camera's state use `camera_get_properties` (or `camera_list` to find one); if you just created a camera with `camera_create` and want to confirm its transform, `camera_get_info` will not show it. **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`.

`camera_create`

Create a new Game Camera.

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | name | string | No | "New Camera" | Name of the new camera GameObject | | x | float | No | 0 | Position X | | y | float | No | 1 | Position Y | | z | float | No | -10 | Position Z | | addAudioListener | bool | No | false | Also attach an `AudioListener` component |

**Returns:** `{ success, name, instanceId }`

`camera_get_properties`

Get Game Camera properties (supports name/instanceId/path).

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | 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, name, fieldOfView, nearClipPlane, farClipPlane, orthographic, orthographicSize, depth, cullingMask, clearFlags, backgroundColor, rect }`

`camera_set_properties`

Set Game Camera properties (FOV, clip planes, clear flags, background color, depth).

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | 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 | | fieldOfView | float? | No | null | Camera field of view | | nearClipPlane | float? | No | null | Near clipping plane distance | | farClipPlane | float? | No | null | Far clipping plane distance | | depth | float? | No | null | Camera rendering depth | | clearFlags | string | No | null | Clear flags: `Skybox`, `Color`, `SolidColor`, `Depth`, `Nothing`. `Color` and `SolidColor` are two names for the same underlying `CameraClearFlags` value, so both are accepted and the response always echoes it back as `Color` — do not read that as the write having been ignored | | bgR | float? | No | null | Background color red component (0-1) | | bgG | float? | No | null | Background color green component (0-1) | | bgB | float? | No | null |
