How would I make the smooth follow script forget everything about rotation and just have it follow in two dimensions? And also, is there a way to make it follow only when the target nears the edges of the screen without using trigger colliders? Thanks!
Sounds like you just want to set the camera at a constant position relative to the player? Diablo-style?
var target : Transform;
var offset : Vector3 = Vector3(5, 5, -5);
function LateUpdate() {
transform.position = target.position + offset;
transform.LookAt(target.position);
}
Try this:
Daniel, you are a genius. 
That’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again guys!
