Locking a camera to a models face?

[❤]

Any help at all please. I have a moving model and i would like the camera to follow said movements.

I would lock it to root_transform or the neck bone if it is just a head movement.

Valve's official tutorials cover this.

Well, if you didn't lock the camera WHILE creating the walk, it won't atach itself until you do add it into the walk cycle. That, or you move the camera yourself. Is it in a straight line?

Ok, listen. If you added the walking sequense before you locked the camera, just click the camera animationset and drag the playhead slider.

This is exactly right. When you lock the camera's movement to the face, counter animation exists, which makes it look like the camera is not moving at all. By applying the playhead slider, you remove the counter animation and allow the camera to move again.
