Do you really need a function for that?

There are many other simple ways to have thrid persons view... If you need those ways, just ask me.

lol, just go to the code base and your sure to find some camera codes there. or just goto retro gaming comp and download Girls From the Block. Several nice camera angles in the source included

Yeah, the set camera to follow would work, as well as some tricky math commands and curvevalue and interpolation between curves, which can be done via the curvevalue command. (Don't know it off the top of my head, sorry)

Thanks everyone, i like to use functions, because i just put them into a source and can keep my base code short. I'll check out code base and how that Set camera to follow works(see if it's any good).

Quicker to just press F1!

Quote: "SET CAMERA TO FOLLOW
This command automatically controls the camera to provide a tracking system. By providing the 3D world coordinate of the entity you wish to track, and some camera data your camera will automatically update its current position each time this command is called. The X, Y, Z and Angle values provide the coordinate to track. The Camdist value specifies the required distance between the coordinate and the camera. The Camheight value specifies the required height of the camera in 3D space. The Camsmooth value specifies the level of smoothing required for the camera, where a value of 1.0 is no smoothing and a value of 100.0 is lots of smoothing. The Colflag value is a special flag that allows the camera to detect whether it is hitting any of the static collision boxes and if set to one will automatically adjust so as not to enter these collidable areas.

SYNTAX
SET CAMERA TO FOLLOW X, Y, Z, Angle, Camdist, Camheight, Camsmooth, ColFlag "
