# New Page `public float speed = 5.0f;` the word public can be changed to private, this denotes the accessability of the variable/class/other `private float speed = 5.0f;` also this is done to initialize the default value of the variable in the script's component tab they are also known as access modifiers :D when we do 5 as a variable, its only valid as an intiger, a whole number, so if we want to do fractional speeds we need to make it a floating point, a decimal number, so we could do 5.0, but its not understandable because its a decimal number so since its not an intiger we need to use float to do decimals coz its a floating point number so then can do 5.0f to turn 5.0 into a readable understandable number for the game :D what happens when we do dword :D it doesn't tell us ;-; anyways next line of code this is similar to the public float speed = thing BUT it doesn't give us the number, or object its just a name normally this doesn't work unless you assign a value in some programming languages but with c# if the script is assigned to an object ex. the camera you can drag an object into the player variable to reference what the player variable is, so ex we want the tank to be the player, (later the player model) we can just put this code in the first level of the script in the public class and it will allow us to assign an object to the variable. whoa python is hard lmfao public GameObject Player; ok so next line in the void update() area transform.position = Player.transform.position;

so basically this transforming the position of the camera to be exactly the same as the Players, including its transformed(updated) position so since we want to offset that we can add `+ new Vector3(0, 5, -7)`

we need to use a new vector3 variable (xyz) but since we need to be able to change that I messed with the code more and got the ideal maybe ggz angels
