SS for ingame of the arena
the problem is whever i place a object even a primitive cube the cramera moves from its default location to the position of the cube. Not nessicarily a bad thing i want to make sure it starts at its default and only moves to a specified object not just object one, additionally i was to display the cordinates on the map so i can get the exact position to place the 4 arena posts temp objects but ATM i want to prevent the camera from lockign on to my temp loayer object im going to use to get the cordinates of the 4 posts.
