Why is my camera switching angles?

Ok so I have been following along with the Hack and Slash tutorial series at BurgZergArcade.com

I have gone through the step of creating a camera script to follow our player and allow for right click features.

Either I(we) messed somet$$anonymous$$ng up in the code or it simply isn't what I am wanting from the script.

when I right click the camera always switches angles to face the same direction no matter what direction my character is facing. I want it to always lock on a be$$anonymous$$nd view placing the back of my character on the screen when I right click as well as be able to turn the character by moving the mouse on the x axis. The latter might have to be done in a diff script, not sure. anyways here is the code. Can anyone explain to me why the camera is locking on to that specific direction when I right click instead of locking on to the back of my character?

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

     }

     }

         //y = ClampAngle(y, yMinLimit, yMaxLimit);
         
         Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(_y, _x, 0);
         Vector3 position = rotation * new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, -minDistance) + target.position;

     _myTransform.position = new Vector3(_myTransform.position.x, currentHeight, _myTransform.position.z);
     
     // Always look at the target
     _myTransform.LookAt (target);
             
     }
     }
     
     else
     {
         GameObject go = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag(playerTagName);
