Animating a camera along a predefined path in A-Frame to maintain focus on a subject

I have been experimenting with animating a camera using the alongpath component, but I am struggling to keep the camera focused on a target. Despite trying both orbit-controls and look-at components, I can't seem to get them to work properly. It seems like there might be a conflict between these components and the alongpath component. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Check out this glitch where I showcase my issue and also demonstrate the methods I used with orbit-controls + look-at:

Answer №1

After some troubleshooting, I successfully got everything to function correctly! By eliminating the rotation part of the alongpath component and consolidating the camera rig into a single entity, I was able to apply the look-at feature to it effectively.
