Moved the camera and now unity stopped recognizing it as main camera

Question

I had a working camera.main code, then I moved my main camera to be a child of a player. Still worked fine.

Then I unchild it and tried adding a script, this immediately poped errors on every line I have camera.main saying there is no such thing - "Camera does not contain definition for "main" "

I tried untagging and retaggins it, deleting and creating a new camera, copying the camera again from a different scene, but nothing works, seems unity refuses to recognize the MainCamera tag.

Or am I missing something?

Is the camera tagged as "MainCamera"?
Is the camera enabled?
Check that you're referring to it as Camera.main, not camera.main.

Ok, problem solved.

The thing that messed it up, was that I tried na$$anonymous$$g the script I creatd "Camera".

Deleted the scripts it it's now working again.

Thanks for the help.

Yes it is both tagged, and Enabled.

As I've mention before, it used to work fine, and I didn't change a single line of code when it suddenly broke down, feels like a bug, or something I miss clicked in the panel, though I can't understand what that is.
