Move position of a Gameobject by specific number during OnTriggerEnter2D

So here's the scenario, when the player enters this trigger, the game object (the camera) needs to just move its position back by 5.

This script isn't attached to the camera, only a game object with a box collider on it.

Im not sure if vector3.lerp makes sense to use, and I'm having issues writing its correctly. Here is my script so far.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class MoveCamera : MonoBehaviour {
2.  
3.         public GameObject _camera;
4.  
5.         // Use this for initialization
6.         void Start () {
7.        
8.         }
9.        
10.         // Update is called once per frame
11.         void Update () {
12.        
13.         }
14.  
15.         void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D other) {
16.             if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
17.  
18.                 Debug.Log ("move camera to new position");
19.  
20.                 //right here i need to move the camera from its original position back 5 (original position is -10, so it would be -15)
21.  
22.             }
23.         }
24.  
25.         void OnTriggerExit2D (Collider2D other) {
26.             if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
27.  
28.                 Debug.Log ("return to normal camera position");
29.  
30.                 // right here it would return to normal, but i want to be able to move the camera individually from this script.
31.             }
32.         }
33.  

the position of the camera needs to still be following the player, and still needs to return to its regional position after exiting. Any know what I should look into for this?

Hi there,

you already have nearly standard Unity trigger enter/exit boiler plate code...

and you also have pseudo code for your camera movement.

If you are clueless about how to move camera at this point, or any other object, I think you better check Unity Learning section / videos.

In any case, you can manipulate any object by it's transform, so transform.rotation and transform.position of camera in this case.
