Smoothly move camera Field of View upon Trigger

Question

I'd like to smoothly adjust the camera position between the original position and field of view to a new one upon a trigger and back again when exiting the trigger area.

How would I approach this, i'm a newb at this? Could someone construct a sample script for me to learn?

I have actually tried to do this for a project of mine and I'd suggest you look at using some of the Vector3 functions, Vector3.SmoothDamp and Vector3.Lerp, to damp/lerp your camera between positions. It works for me and should work fine for what you plan to accomplish, too. It'll be easily transferable too as you'd be able to just have variables to store the Vector3 positions of where ever you want to move your camera to.

I tried this but it doesn't do anything. I think it's something stupid I'm missing. It's a gameObject not attached to anything at the moment:

 #pragma strict
 var zoomOut: int = 95;
 var normal : int = 60;
 var smooth : float = 5;
 
 private var poisoned = false;
 
 function update () {
     if (poisoned == true){
         Camera.main.fieldOfView = $$anonymous$$athf.Lerp(Camera.main.fieldOfView,zoomOut,Time.deltaTime*smooth);
         }
     else{
         Camera.main.fieldOfView = $$anonymous$$athf.Lerp(Camera.main.fieldOfView,normal,Time.deltaTime*smooth);
         }
 }    
                 
 function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider) {
     
     if (other.gameObject.name.StartsWith("Player")) { //Check that we are dealing with the player.
         poisoned = true;    
     }
 }
 function OnTriggerExit (other : Collider) {
      poisoned = false;    
     
 }

Your "update" function needs to have the first letter CAPITALIZED

[SOLVED]
