Is camera.lockedTarget supposed to follow a moving mesh?

I am kind of thinking not.  As my mesh flies away, it just disappears.  Am using FreeCamera & calling:

camera.lockedTarget = scene.getLastEntryByID("Cloth");

Camera has mesh right in center at beginning, & is not movable by mouse.  Maybe my expectation are too high.    Would gladly hear that I am just not doing it right.

Now looking at the source code for FreeCamera.  saw a property noRotationConstraint = false;  I changed it true.  Did nothing.  At the end of my thing, I happened to click, and suddenly the mesh was back in the middle of the canvas.

 

I tried running and clicking every so often, and the camera crudely shifted.  So it looks like my answer may be yes.  Is there a way which avoids the clicking repeatedly?

 

Thanks,

Fixed it! Well for Automatons, anyway.  I just started calling methods of FreeCamera in my beforeRender.  Will need to get smarter, like only doing so when movement occurred.  If I am just screwed up, & should 'just do this', then please let me know.  Thanks
