This one should work:

var target : GameObject;

function Update () {
    target = gameObject.Find("Player");
    transform.LookAt(target.transform);
}

From the docs:

“For performance reasons it is recommended to not use this function every frame Instead cache the result in a member variable at startup or use GameObject.FindWithTag.”

// This is another way of doing this, example from a game I’ve started working on //

//pre defined target
transform.LookAt(target);

if(transform.position.x <= 30){
target = gameObject.Find(“camera_look_2”).transform;
} else {
target = gameObject.Find(“camera_look_1”).transform;
}
