Camera switch between First and third person. Showing error-CodePudding

I am trying to make a camera switch between first person and third person. Here is the code:

[SerializeField]
private Camera ThirdPersonCam;
private KeyCode switchKey;

//Assingables
public Transform playerCam;
public Transform orientation;

private void Update()
{
    MyInput();
    Look();

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(switchKey))
    {
        playerCam.enabled = !playerCam.enabled;
        ThirdPersonCam.enabled = !ThirdPersonCam.enabled;
    }
}

However, in this line playerCam.enabled = !playerCam.enabled;, it shows this error:

'Transform' does not contain a definition for 'enabled' and no accessible extension method 'enabled' accepting a first argument of type 'Transform' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

But in the line beneath it, it doesn’t show. I am confused why is it happening and enabled is a definition for the Transform. Can someone help me out to solve it.

Thanks.

CodePudding user response：

There is no "enable" for Transform in the documentation as far as I can tell: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.html If you want to invert the active status (aka enable) from having a reference to their transform, use:

playerCam.gameObject.SetActive(!playerCam.gameObject.activeSelf)

Since this is a bit convoluted, it often makes sense to keep references to the game objects themselves instead of their transform.

CodePudding user response：

you've defined the global/serializable playerCam to be of type transform so you cannot enable/disable them. Change the types to Camera and it should be fine

[SerializeField]
private Camera ThirdPersonCam;
private KeyCode switchKey;

//Assingables
public Camera playerCam;
public Transform orientation;
