Can't assign camera to variable.

I have three cameras in my scene. One follows the body of the tank, one follows the turret of the tank (rotation), and eventually, i want one that is a "zoomed-in" view. However, when I go to drag my cameras into the "camera1""camera2" variable slots in the inspector, I just simply cant. No errors or anything, it's just physically impossible to drag it onto the slot.

Here's a screenshot. You can see my code, and variables on the right, and my cameras on the left.

Here's the code I'm using, and I've seen it a hundred times.

var camera1 : Camera; 
var camera2 : Camera; 

function Start () { 
   camera1.enabled = true; 
   camera2.enabled = false; 
} 

function Update () { 
   if (Input.GetKeyDown ("2")){ 
      camera1.enabled = false; 
      camera2.enabled = true; 
   } 
   if (Input.GetKeyDown ("1")){ 
      camera1.enabled = true; 
      camera2.enabled = false; 
   }     
}

have you put the script on something? I can't attach cameras to the script until I've actually put it on something.

If you can, post an answer (not a comment) stating the solution and mark it as accepted. It takes it off the "unanswered" list.

Not quite at the bottom, they need to be included in the main namespace and part of the class (see the comments in the snippet above). Here;s the full file I'm using: [RigidbodyFPControllerCardboard.cs][1] [1]: http://baroquedub.co.uk/private/temp/RigidbodyFPControllerCardboard.cs

When you drag objects like that, it's gonna be Transform (or maybe GameObject?). Anyway, try Transform and then GetComponent(Camera) on them.

Thanks for the help! (Sorry for the late reply...)

@TortoRacoon make sure your camera is a prefab as well as the object you’re trying to assign it to
