-Moves the camera to the specified (X,Y,Z) coordinate over the specified duration (in seconds). Camera must first be locked.
+Moves the camera to the specified (X,Y,Z) [[coordinate]] or named [[camera_positions|camera position]] over a duration of time (in seconds). A target to aim the camera towards can optionally be specified. If using a [[camera_positions|camera position]] for the destination, this "look at target" will override the angle.
-Examples: Coordinate (0,0,8) will place the camera above the center of tile (0,0,0) at a height of 8 voxels, whereas coordinate (0.5, 0.5, 8) will place the camera at the same height but at the southeast corner of the tile instead of at the center.
