I have two problems.
The first is that in the editor in the Inspector of the SwitchCameras script I cant change the size of the storedCameras variable. No matter what value I type in the array in the inspector if it's 2 or 1 or 30 it's all the time turn back to 0. And the game is not running yet. I can drag cameras to the storedCameras but I cant change its size if I'm typing a number.
The second problem is that one of the cameras is First Person and there is a script attached to it: FirstPersonController and this script are using the Main Camera with the variable m_Camera. The problem is when I'm running the game the first active camera is another camera and the main camera is disabled so I'm getting many exceptions null exceptions since the main camera is disabled(NULL) so also m_camera is null:

I tried to add in the Update and FixedUpdate in both places the same small code:
if (Camera.main != null)
{
m_Camera = Camera.main;
}
else
{
return;
}
But it didn't solve the problems. Once I'm switching to the main camera I'm getting null exceptions on m_camera.
The main goal is to switch between stored cameras for example if I added 2 cameras to stored cameras switch between them. If I clicked on the button Switch Sequence then now I will be able to switch between all the cameras and not only the two stored.
But something here I messed up.
