This is a rather weird problem. I'm using the included SmoothFollow script, and it follows the set GameObject, but it does not point at the back of the GameObject it is following. Instead, it shows the side. How do I fix this?
SmoothFollow points in the positive direction along the Z axis. As Marco has stated, the first thing to check would be the axis directions of the target object. Failing that, is it possible the script has been edited in any way? Also, is the SmoothFollow script attached to an object other than the camera directly?
