    Hi, does anyone know how to make the virtual camera automatically add the Player to the follow component in the inspector? Like have it detect the game object with the tag player or layer player. I'm not a coder so any help would be great. This would help for a player selection scene i think. This way whatever character is chosen the camera will follow right?

    The vcam won't do that out of the box because we don't want to make too many assumptions about how the tool will be used.

    You'll have to write a little initialization script that searches for the Player tag and assigns the resulting object to the vcam's LookAt and Follow fields.

    Oh wow, I was able to do this with Playmaker. I'm getting pretty good at this.
