     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {

     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         position = target.position;
         position.z -= zOffset;
         currentY = target.position.y;
 
         if (currentY > minimumheight + orthoSize - 1) {
                         position.y = currentY - orthoSize + 1;
 
                 }
         else {
             position.y=minimumheight;
