Well, I must admit I had some fun developing the solution to this. spinning cameras (if not overused) create a good, fairly challenging environment. Here is how to do it:


http://trigger.3ice.hu/?i=23

Warnings:
  • This is just a proof of concept.
  • It is not the best solution.
  • Camera locking might be smarter than repeatedly panning.
  • Doing this every 0.03 seconds is going to be laggy on weak PCs.
  • Works only for one player.
  • Works only in single player mode.

Don't use custom script when you don't understand what it does.
