    Hello there.

    I need to make an automatic moving camera, but I do not know how to do it.
    Does it need scripting? Is there such thing as trails?

    Please help me.
    Thanks

    I dont realls know what you mean by "automatic". If it needs to follow the player, simply parent it to the gameobject itself. Trails do indeed exist, but they have nothing to do with cameras, they are just like a particle effect.

    By automatic I mean the camera is moving by itself in certain directions. Is there a way to achieve this?

    Actually, making a game consists of automatizing plenty of things including the camera. So, yes, you need to write scripts for that.
