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; }
