Camera warps back to where player entered the car when they get out

Question

I am currently working on a 2D game that gives the player the ability to drive cars and get in and out of them.

I wrote a script that basically gets the job done; the only issue is every time my character gets out of the car, the camera jumps from where the car originally was to where I drove it to.

While I'm driving the car, the camera follows the car just fine.

The preferred reaction would be for the camera to just still be where the car is and immediately start following the player when they get out of the car.

Here is my entire driving script:

public class Driving : MonoBehaviour {

    public int movementSpeed = 2;
    public int rotationSpeed = 50;
    public float angle = 0;
    public int levelToLoad;
    public CameraController camCon;
    public PlayerController playCon;
    public int powerMod;

    public GameObject camera1;
    public GameObject player;
    public GameObject tractor1;
    bool isInVehicle;
    bool isInCollider;
    bool gotOut;
    Vector3 tractorPosition;
    public float power = 3;
    public float maxspeed = 10;
    public float turnpower = 2;
    public float friction = 3;
    public Vector2 curspeed;
    Rigidbody2D rbody2d;
    public bool gas;

    void Start()
    {
        rbody2d = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        isInCollider = false;
        isInVehicle = false;
        Quaternion origRotation = camCon.transform.rotation;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity ;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (gotOut)
        {
            isInCollider = false;
            isInVehicle = false;
        }
        

        if (isInVehicle)
        {
            isInCollider = true;

            curspeed = new Vector2(rbody2d.velocity.x, rbody2d.velocity.y);

            if (curspeed.magnitude > maxspeed)
            {
                curspeed = curspeed.normalized;
                curspeed *= maxspeed;
            }

            camCon.targetSpeed = maxspeed -5;

            if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
            {
                //transform.Translate(Vector3.up * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
                rbody2d.AddForce(transform.up * power);
                rbody2d.drag = friction;
                gas = true;
            }
            if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
            {
                // transform.Translate(Vector3.down * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
                rbody2d.AddForce(-(transform.up) * (power/2));
                rbody2d.drag = friction;
                gas = true;
            }
            if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
            {
                //angle = angle + rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

            }

            noGas();

Answer 1

You're explicitly setting the camera position back to <0,0,-10> when the player exits the vehicle

camera1.transform.position = new Vector3(0f, 0f, -10f);

But since the target of the camera is still the player (from when the player initially entered the vehicle) the camera controller is moving the camera back to the current location of the player.

I'd suggest try removing that line altogether and retesting; but if you still don't get the correct behavior, try changing it to

camera1.transform.position = player.transform.position;
