Camera Track Player

Unity Engine
1

I’m working on a platformer and I’m really new to unity. I know that you could drag the camera under the player and make it a child however my object is a ball that rolls so it rotates along with the player. I’m looking for a way to track just the X and Y of the player. I’ve tried multiple other threads and websites however none of them worked. :frowning: I am using Unity 5 if that makes a difference!

Thanks a lot in advance!

easiest way would be to set this code in update of camera

Update()
{
   transform.position = new Vector3(player.transform.position.x,player.transform.position.y, -10)   //change 10 with desired distance from player
}

also dont forget to include initialization of player variable so before all actions set
public GameObject player;
and then drag player object in editor from hierarchy to camera variable of player
