    Hi everyone,

    I'm a newbie at Unity and today's the first day I've been using it. I'm trying to make a 2D runner but for some reason the camera cannot follow the sprite/object/(whatever), but instead falls forever until I restart the game. Is there a way to make it follow my sprite and NOT infinitely fall?

    You can add the camera as a child to the sprite or you can attach this script to the Main Camera:

    public Gameobject target;

    void Update(){
    transform.position = new Vector3(target.position.x, target.position.y, transform.position.z);
    //You can add a new variable for the z axis if you want.
    }

    The camera should be stationary and not fall. Have you added a RigidBody to it?
