`this is the set camera to follow command. the first 3 variables
`are what you want the camera to follow. the 4th variable is the direction
`you want the camera to face. in this example, we want the camera to face
`the same way as the object we are following. the fifth variable if how far
`away you want the camera to stay from the object being followed. the 6th
`how high you want the camera to be. the 7th place is how the camera is
`smoothed(from 0 to 100). the last is to detect whether or not the camera
`is hitting a static collision box or not. hope it helped.
