Can't assign transitions

Assets/Scripts/Camera/CameraFollowup.cs(10,22): error CS0200: Property or indexer `UnityEngine.Component.transform' cannot be assigned to (it is read only)
Yes, I know there's many tutorials for it. But most of them get answered for their specific situations, which either doesn't suit mine, or they provide final answers without explaining why it wasn't working, I have extremely easy script, here it is:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class CameraFollowup : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public Transform Player;
7.  
8.     void Update() {
9.         this.transform = Player;
10.     }
11. }
12.  

It is attached to camera, and has to follow player, without following it's angles. But I get error which I mentioned first, tried Vector3 and GameObject too. Maybe I should do something else?

 

I did something similar yesterday :

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3.  
4. class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.      private Vector3 startPos;
7.      public GameObject player;
8.      float zDistance;
9.  
10.      void Start()
11.      {
12.          startPos = transform.position;
13.          zDistance = startPos.z - player.transform.position.z;
14.      }
15.  
16.      void Update()
17.      {
18.          Vector3 newPos = new Vector3(player.transform.position.x, startPos.y, player.transform.position.z + zDistance);
19.          transform.position = newPos;
20.      }
21. }

 

I don't think you can assign transforms like this. I think you can try instead :

this.gameObject.transform= Player;

or if the above don't work, how about this :

this.gameObject.transform.position = Player.position;

or this :

this.transform.position = Player.posistion;

Too many choices to try

 

Thank you, changed code a bit and it worked for my purposes.
