Camera follow ball along cylinder

Question

In my game I have a ball that rolls along a cylinder and can also rotate around it. alt text

The camera script I currently have looks like t$$anonymous$$s:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private GameObject player;
     private Vector3 offsetPosition;
 
     void Start()
     {
         player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
         offsetPosition = transform.position - player.transform.position;
     }
 
     void LateUpdate()
     {
         transform.position = player.transform.position + offsetPosition;
     }
 }

So it simply follows the ball. When I rotate the ball around the cylinder it looks like t$$anonymous$$s alt text

How can I modify the camera script so the camera view stays the same and rotates with the ball around the cylinder?

Hello, have you managed to solve t$$anonymous$$s problem? I need it in the same way. Thanks :)

To move the camera I used private void FixedUpdate() { transform.position = transform.position + movement * speed * Time.deltaTime; } movement is your directional vector. And when you want to rotate you use transform.rotate(). Hope that could help.
