What just happened?

An analysis of the code shown in the preceding screenshot is as follows:

Line 6: public float cameraHeight = 17.0f;

• The variable cameraHeight stores the distance the camera will be above Player

Line 7: public float cameraDistance = 17.0f;

• The variable cameraDistance stores the distance the camera will be away from Player on the x and z axes

Line 18: transform.position = playerPosition.position +

new Vector3(cameraDistance, cameraHeight, -cameraDistance);

• The variable playerPosition stores the transform data of Player, but all we want to know is the position data from all that transform data
• Therefore, playerPosition.position stores the constantly changing x, y, z position of Player
• The height and distance data stored in cameraHeight and cameraDistance...
