i believe there is a command called "set camera to follow object" or something similar. look for it in the docs.

if you want to make your own function to do this, I can explain it, but it uses some trig.

Do a search on the forums. A few months back someone - I think it was Indi - posted example code for a freeflight 3d person camera.
