    Hay, I'm making a game where there's a bunch of prepositioned camera's. When the main player walks into a certain area the camera will change. Think early resident evil.

    How would I go about doing this? Should i setup a load of box colliders and have them as triggers and then change the camera when a collision happens with my main players collide? Is there a better way of doing this?

    Yes, this way you have good control over exactly when the camera should switch.

    Tseng, this topic is different than my question. This deals with finding the nearest camera, I don't want that.

    Diablo, should I only check when the collision happens? Or should I be using onCollisionStay?

    While he asked for the nearest camera, he was probably meaning the same thing like you and just had a wrong approach/idea on archiving it. If you read my post (the last one, where the link leads to) it's exactly what you have been asking...
