Camera Script Making Player Vanish

Questions & Answers
1

I’m trying to make a script for the camera that has the camera follow the player in Unity 2D. Without the script attached to the camera, the player renders fine, but once I attach the script, the player and all other objects vanish. Even after I detach the script, the player is still invisible. As far as I can tell, this has to do with the transform of the camera, but I have no idea how to fix it.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CameraUpdater : MonoBehaviour {

	private Transform player;
	
	void Start () {
		player = GameObject.Find ("Player").transform;
	}

	void Update () {
		Vector2 playerpos = player.position;
		playerpos.x = transform.position.x;
		playerpos.y = transform.position.z;
		transform.position = playerpos;
	}
}

Remove everythin in update and just leave transform.position = player.position
