Why does this Camera pan eventually slow down and stop?
local target = workspace.sub --this is a part
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraSubject = target
local angle = 0
while true and wait() do
camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(target.Position) --Start at the position of the part
camera.Focus = camera.Focus * CFrame.new(1,0,0)
end
It works for a few seconds then slows down and slightly pans downwards, what did I do wrong?

What exactly are you trying to do? User#2 0 — 10y

I'm trying to pan the camera around in a circle, slowly. alibix123 175 — 10y

I don't understand matrix math, especially with CFrame, so I prefer to do camera manipulation manually:
local target = Workspace.sub
local camera = Workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraSubject = target
local angle = 0 --Starting anle, in degrees.
local foc = Vector3.new(0, -.1, 0) --Only x and z are affected by the rotation math. You can change y freely.
while wait() do
foc = Vector3.new(math.cos(math.rad(angle)), foc.Y, math.sin(math.rad(angle)))
camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(target.Position)
camera.Focus = CFrame.new(target.Position + foc)
angle = angle + .5
end
