Just getting started, very confused

I am making a very simple dodge bricks game and when you hit one I want the camera o look at the level so you can see your trail.
I have tried this

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKey("w"))
2.         {
3.             transform.position.Set(0, 50, 40);
4.             transform.rotation.Set(90, 0, 0, 0);
5.         }

and multiple other things; however, when I disable my follow player script and enable this one the camera just freezes and does not go to my coordanates. But when I hit space(my reset level botton) the follow player script reactivates and continue to follow the player.

thank you for the help

 

This does not query the W key, but an input binding named "w" in the InputManager, as described in the documentation:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetKey.html

If you want to hard-code the W key, you should be able to do this with:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))

 

That's all true, but in fact if there is no input binding named "w", then it will respond to the W key. So this is not the problem. (Verify this by adding a Debug.Log inside the if statement.)

@watisap88, I don't understand the question. The script as shown looks like it should make the camera freeze — either at its previous position, or at the new position/orientation. You don't yet understand quaternions, and should probably be using

transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(90, 0, 0)

instead, but that seems like a minor issue.

Can you explain better what you want this script to do, and how that differs from what it's actually doing?

 

Today I learned

Vector3.Set

exists.

 

I had no idea that was a thing

 

try

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
