Trouble with Camera Follow Script C# (503456)

Scripting C# & .NET

Can somebody help me with a script to make the main camera follow an object through script without it needing to be a child of the object? This is for a top down shooter. I’ve tried a lot of things that I thought would work and when they didn’t I looked on the forums and found only pretty much what I’ve thought of myself.

Here’s what I have tried and various similar variations of it:

Vector3 cameraPos = Camera.mainCamera.transform.position;

cameraPos.x = player.transform.position.x;
cameraPos.z = player.transform.position.z;

(in the Update function)

By variations I mean of the variable like: cameraPos = transform.position;

You are assigning only Vector3 which does not give anything to Camera. With your script at the end add:

Camera.mainCamera.transform.position = cameraPos;
