how do i add values to my variable offset because the camera looks directly in first person i am not making an fps and if i was i would have to still make a turn camera function. but back to the point how to i make the camera’s ZED, and X access to zoom out a bit on my sphere

///CODE BELOW/\\\
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour
{
//The target player object
public GameObject player;

//The offset distance at which camera should stay
private Vector3 offset;

void start()
{
//This will calculate the gap between player and camera at startup
offset = transform.position - player.transform.position;
}

void LateUpdate()
{
//Update camera position based on player position
Vector3 Cameraposition = player.transform.position - offset ;

//Apply the final position
transform.position = Cameraposition;
}

}

please use [code ][/code ] tags when pasting code into the forums, really helps with readability, add lines numbers (helps with error messages which also have line numbers) etc., there is a sticky on them at the top of the scripting forum.

I’ve read you’re message above your code a few times and I’m not entirely sure what you are trying to do :eyes: perhaps tell us what you are trying to do rather than what you aren’t?

After reading the question 3 times, am I right that you wish to do a 3rd person controlled camera?
If that’s the case, this is a link toward a bunch of video tutorial that will give you quite a good overview (and scripts) for what you might be looking for :

Even if you might not need the character related stuff, the “TP_Camera” related video might help you out. I still suggest watching the whole thing to get a better overview of everything you need or not from it.
