The simple way is to position the camera at the same x/z coords of your ninja, the same rotation, but with a slightly higher y coord. Then you can move the camera back (MOVE CAMERA, with a negative number) and point the camera at the objects x/y/z coords (POINT CAMERA)

...yup indeedy. Or another way would be to use the "set camera to follow" command, its called something like that. You feed it the ninja coords, angle, dist and smoothing etc. and it does it all for ya

Niinnjjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Cheers.
