Get camera position back to starting position
I am a unity newb but I am trying to modify this Camera controller so when I use the reset() function I created that I call from a different script in my game it will reset the camera view back to its original position. I have a drop down menu I use to switch cameras but if you zoom in or out with the mouse the position stays zoomed in or out instead of resetting when I switch cameras. I am having a hard time understanding how changing positions work and could really use some help.
