Woah...that sentence could have used a few periods...

There are many tutorials for third person camera views. In fact, I believe there are a couple that come with Dark Basic. Take a look at them before asking on the forum. Look at the DB Help file, under examples. In Basic 3D there should be a third person camera example. If you need help with it, just ask.

You need to save the current "mode" in a variable, and operate the camera depending on what mode you are in.
