Please help me.

@destroyer
I'm pretty sure he means he wants the camera to pan around the field, not just rotate and point somewhere else.

@May0naise
This could probably be done with trig, but here's a cheap trick I like to use for camera panning:

1.) Every loop, position the camera at 0,0,0 (or whereever you want it to pan around)
2.) Rotate the camera in whichever direction you want it to go.
3.) Use the command MOVE CAMERA and put in for the value however far away you want it to be multiplied by -1.

Example code:



And of couse you can easily adjust the distance, speed of rotation, etc.
