Recommended Setup (Universal Component)

  1. Add TeamMarkerCameraController component to your main camera
  2. Configure settings in inspector as needed
  3. Component will automatically work with your team marker

Testing

  1. Add TeamMarkerCameraTest component to any GameObject
  2. Press T to run all tests
  3. Check console for results and troubleshooting info
