Translate between C# and javascript

Questions & Answers

Hi, I have a movement script and a camera script that I’ve been adding onto and customizing to fit my needs (both are Javascript) and I’m getting pretty good at Javascript but once I look at C# I get all confused, I was wondering if anyone has any info on how to convert between the two.

This is the C# script (from import package) I want to convert to Javascript:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SmoothFollow : MonoBehaviour
{

// The target we are following
public Transform target;
// The distance in the x-z plane to the target
public float distance = 10.0f;
// the height we want the camera to be above the target
public float height = 5.0f;
// How much we 
public float heightDamping = 2.0f;
public float rotationDamping = 3.0f;

// Place the script in the Camera-Control group in the component menu
[AddComponentMenu("Camera-Control/Smooth Follow")]

void LateUpdate()
{
    // Early out if we don't have a target
    if (!target) return;

    // Calculate the current rotation angles
    float wantedRotationAngle = target.eulerAngles.y;
    float wantedHeight = target.position.y + height;

    float currentRotationAngle = transform.eulerAngles.y;
    float currentHeight = transform.position.y;

    // Damp the rotation around the y-axis
    currentRotationAngle = Mathf.LerpAngle(currentRotationAngle, wantedRotationAngle, rotationDamping * Time.deltaTime);

    // Damp the height
    currentHeight = Mathf.Lerp(currentHeight, wantedHeight, heightDamping * Time.deltaTime);

    // Convert the angle into a rotation
    var currentRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, currentRotationAngle, 0);

    // Set the position of the camera on the x-z plane to:
    // distance meters behind the target
    transform.position = target.position;
    transform.position -= currentRotation * Vector3.forward * distance;

    // Set the height of the camera
    transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, currentHeight, transform.position.z);

    // Always look at the target
    transform.LookAt(target);
}

}

#pragma strict

public var target : Transform;
public var distance : float = 10;
public var height : float = 5;
public var heightDamping : float = 2;
public var rotationDamping : float = 3;

@script AddComponentMenu ("Camera-Control/Smooth Follow")

function LateUpdate ()
{
	if (!target)
	{
		return;
	}
	
	var wantedRotationAngle : float = target.eulerAngles.y;
	var wantedHeight : float = target.position.y + height;
	var currentRotationAngle : float = transform.eulerAngles.y;
	var currentHeight : float = transform.position.y;
	
	currentRotationAngle = Mathf.LerpAngle (currentRotationAngle, wantedRotationAngle, rotationDamping * Time.deltaTime);
	currentHeight = Mathf.Lerp (currentHeight, wantedHeight, heightDamping * Time.deltaTime);
	
	var currentRotation : Quaternion = Quaternion.Euler (0, currentRotationAngle, 0);
	
	transform.position = target.position;
	transform.position -= currentRotation * Vector3.forward * distance;
	
	transform.position = Vector3 (transform.position.x, currentHeight, transform.position.z);
	
	transform.LookAt (target);
}

It should work. I removed comments to display less messy code. Compare these two scripts and find differences in syntax.
