public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public Transform target; Camera cam;

void Start() { cam = GetComponent<Camera>(); }

void Update() { Vector3 viewPos = cam.WorldToViewportPoint(target.position); if (viewPos.x > 0.5F) print("target is on the right side!"); else print("target is on the left side!"); } }
