How do I modify this to move the camera at the same time the player is moving?
Hello I have this script that allows the player to move and look around, but while the player is walking the camera is locked in position; I am really new to C# as a language but I am eager to learn! Why does only a part of the code update when another part is called? and how do I update both at the same time? Thank you for taking a look at it, and any advice is greatly appreciated!
For those curious the code itself is part of a youtube tutorial and more information can be found on his page at DanisTutorials.

I also learned that some laptops disable the mouse trackpad while typing, if you're having this same issue try holding a key down while moving the mouse and seeing if the mouse stays locked to verify that this is not the issue.
So first off, try to not copy and paste the whole script, I am not sure where you need the help. And second, brackeys has some camera videos that could help.

Changing "Time.deltaTime" to "Time.fixedDeltaTime" everywhere in the script seems to have fixed it for some reason? why is that?

oh, this is Dani's script for movement, I really don't understand the complications he has but I don't suggest you to use his anymore, because he did a lot of working and this is the worst version of his movement script, try making your own since it is easier to keep track of bugs and issues,

public GameObject Player;
public Camera FPScamera;
public float AlittleBitOfHeightToTheCamera = 1f;
private void Update()
{
FPScamera.transform.position = new Vector3(
Player.transform.position.x,
Player.transform.position.y + AlittleBitOfHeightToTheCamera,
Player.transform.position.z
);
}
@magnadox1 Simple as that, right?
