Nothing to do with FPSC scripts...

What you suggest has been done in the past by Fred P (our friendly neighbour hood moderator). Compared to other 3rd person games, this effect is poor since when you look down, the whole model goes down as well. If people want to create 3rd person shooters then they should learn a programming language such as Dark Basic. Having said that, Ply mod allows proper 3rd person so there's no point trying to make this possible at the moment.

Yes it does. If you did some really good scripting with Ply's mod you could get the camera working, but shooting, as Meteorite has said is a pain in the neck. So is jumping.

You could make a "player gun" as suggested by the original author, just use a Mod to prevent the player from looking up or down and animate the character gun to hold and fire it's "weapon" when supposed to and you can even animate it to "put their gun away" when you put the gun away.

Would be a cheap effect but may solve some of the issues arising with using an actual character entity in place of the player.

honestly without some major scripting skillz (unless secrets reveal themselves), its not even worth it using the FPSC engine. Learn a proper language if you really want to make a 3rd person game.

BTW,
Was I the only person who had to read his post 5 times before fully understanding what he wanted?

For 3rd person games, I'd recommend using 3d GameStudio. But then, you better know C programming because there's more programming involved there than there is here.
