Hi,
I´m new to Scripting and ran into a fundamental problem, i think.
I read and watched allot Tutorials online, and have three DVD´s about Unity and Unity Scripting and still learning! 
I´m stuck for days with this and hope you can guide me the right direction.
I setup this simple testing scene, as shown in the image attached.
I´m trying to have two kinds of Buttons to choose from for the User.
First, the “Main”- & “FPS”-Buttons. “Main” mainly as Intrudctionperspective as one starts the Level. And “FPS” as a User controlled Freeroamingperspective.
Second, the “<”- & “>”-Buttons. These should cycle through various set Cameras. (The goal is to have the count of these customizable in the end. But this is the next step. First small.)
I had testes this seperatly. One Project with only a Back&Forth-Buttons which cycle through all cameras, which worked. And another project where every Camera had his own Button, worked although.
But I´m not able to combine these two.
I tried diefferents things, last for example was to exchange every “GameObject”-Type with the “Camera”-Type and vice-a-versa.
My problem is that I learned to use “GameObject” with cameras to de-/activate cameras. But now the Camera-Type confuses me. And I think this maybe the problem : “GameObject.SetActive” VS. “Camera.enabled”
and please, if it´s no problem for you C#. Always switching between C# and JS confuses me and costs more time to me than as it helps. But if it´s the only way you know… I try again to translate it wtihout mistakes^^
…altough a big SORRY for my bad english!
