Camera shake in unity
For Creating a camera shake in unity first, We will create a C# script for the camera shake and you can give a name according to your preference, In my case, I gave it the name CameraShake.cs. Then just copy and paste the code I shared below and don’t forget to change the script’s name if you have a different script name from mine. This is a very simple camera shake script.
Before that, if you want some advance shakes for your game use Camera Shake Asset.
using UnityEngine;
public class CameraShake : MonoBehaviour
{
// Camera Information
public Transform cameraTransform;
private Vector3 orignalCameraPos;
// Shake Parameters
public float shakeDuration = 2f;
public float shakeAmount = 0.7f;
private bool canShake = false;
private float _shakeTimer;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
orignalCameraPos = cameraTransform.localPosition;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
ShakeCamera();
}
if (canShake)
{
StartCameraShakeEffect();
}
}
public void ShakeCamera()
{
canShake = true;
_shakeTimer = shakeDuration;
}
public void StartCameraShakeEffect()
{
if (_shakeTimer > 0)
{
cameraTransform.localPosition = orignalCameraPos + Random.insideUnitSphere * shakeAmount;
_shakeTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
}
else
{
_shakeTimer = 0f;
cameraTransform.position = orignalCameraPos;
canShake = false;
}
}
}Attach this script to your GameManager game object in the hierarchy.
Explanation
There are only 2 main variables:-
shakeDuration:- This is the duration that how long your camera shake will be, So if you want to increase/decrease the time of shake, Simply change the shake duration according to your requirements.
shakeAmount:- This parameter will define how long your how hard your shake will be so if you want to increase/decrease the amount of shake just simply play with this variable

Its such as you learn my thoughts! You appear to grasp a lot approximately this,
like you wrote the e book in it or something.
I believe that you just could do with a few percent to
drive the message house a little bit, however instead of that, that is great blog.
A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
