Hi I am trying to make a array of all the cameras in the scene that are within a certain distance from the caller.
I just started programing and am not too confidant with arrays yet.
```auto
var cameraRange = 30;
var viewList[] = new Array ();
var numbInRange : int;
function Update () {
var cameras[] = Camera.allCameras;
for (var camera : Camera in cameras[])
{
if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, camera.position) >= cameraRange) {
numbInRange++;
}
else {
}
}
}
```

That’s a good start. A few things:
- The \>= operator should be \<=, unless you’re trying to find cameras that are _outside_ the given range
- Instead of keeping track of how many cameras there are with the numbInRange variable, just add the camera itself to the array (see the next point)
- Instead of using a built-in array, use an [Array](http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Array.html) object; this will allow you to keep adding items without first setting a specific size
- To get the camera’s position, use camera.transform.position; a camera position doesn’t have a position variable, but its transform does
