Hi!

YOU CAN FOR EXAMPLE USE THE `camera.setTarget(Vector3)` FUNCTION TO FOCUS THE CAMERA ON A GIVEN 3D Vector or the `lockedTarget` property of a `TargetCamera` which you can use to focus at a mesh or position.

For more information please have a look at the documentation:

> **[Cameras | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/divingDeeper/cameras)**
>
> Learn all about the different types of cameras available in Babylon.js.

> **[TargetCamera | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/typedoc/classes/babylon.targetcamera)**
>
> A target camera takes a mesh or position as a target and continues to look at it while it moves.This is the base of the follow, arc rotate came \[API\]

thanks for your feedback but  
ı can use function the other component like this  
onClick={() =\> focusChangeCamera(meshName, scene, boothName)}  
but i can’t use it here

mesh.actionManager.registerAction(

```
    new ExecuteCodeAction(ActionManager.OnPickTrigger, () => {

      focusChangeCamera(mesh, StateScene, gltfName);

    })

  );

```

I made the variable names specific to that field, and it doesn’t work when I make the variable names as above.

When I click on the object I want to focus on, it leaves the free camera and switches to the arcrotate camera.but definitely not able to animate
