How to save position of camera

[spitu]

I have a third person camera that can orbit around the player and(when needed) reposition and lock itself behind the player for targeting purposes. I want to make it so when switching from targeting to orbit the camera will keep the position and not snap back to the orbit position it had.

void UpdatePosition()
	{
		if(!Targeting2.Instance.isTargeting)
		{
			var posX = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.x, desiredPosition.x, ref velX, X_Smooth);
			var posY = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.y, desiredPosition.y, ref velY, Y_Smooth);
			var posZ = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.z, desiredPosition.z, ref velZ, X_Smooth);
			position = new Vector3(posX, posY, posZ);
		
		transform.position = position;
		transform.LookAt(TargetLookAt);
	}
	else if(Targeting2.Instance.isTargeting)
	{
		var posX = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.x, desiredPosition.x, ref velX, X_TSmooth);
		var posY = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.y, desiredPosition.y, ref velY, Y_TSmooth);
		var posZ = Mathf.SmoothDamp(position.z, desiredPosition.z, ref velZ, X_TSmooth);
		position = new Vector3(posX, posY, posZ);
		
		transform.position = position;
		transform.LookAt(TargetLookAt);
	}
}

Somewhere (not in the snippet you have) you are computing desiredPosition. For orbit, it’s probably based on an orbit-angle variable.

When you switch into Orbit mode, also reset that angle to 0 (or whatever number means forwards.)
