Hello. Some noob issues here

Hi, I am currently trying to get my first game working with unity, I am following the "roll-a ball" tutorial but i cannot seem to get the camera working. It's probably because the tutorial was recorded using an outdated version of the engine but stil I cant figure out how to get it working. Here is the code:


using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CameraControl : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject Player;
private Vector3 offset;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
offset = transform.position;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void LateUpdate ()
{
transform.position = Player.transform.position + offset;
}
}

 

Here's a my version of the code and I'm using Unity 5:

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.      public GameObject player;
7.      private Vector3 offset;
8.  
9.      // Use this for initialization
10.      void Start () {
11.           offset = transform.position;
12.      }
13.  
14.      // Update is called once per frame
15.      void LateUpdate () {
16.           transform.position = player.transform.position + offset;
17.      }
18. }

I did a quick comparison of the codes and the only difference I spotted was the class name: you have it as CameraControl whereas, according to the tutorial, it should be CameraController. I don't think it would have mattered if you did everything consistently using the name CameraControl instead of CameraController but that's probably still worth checking!

I hope it helps a little at least! Instead of trying to figure out what went wrong, sometimes, for a small script like this, I find it easier to delete the script and remove the script component from the object and just start again. Good luck!

 

It worked, thanks
