Need a third person camera

[DoomNewb]

Uh, I looked all over here (kinda) and couldn't find a third person camera trigger. I might of found some but the whole leaking concept confuses me and I dont know how well they would work if four players constantly reset to the third person camera every 0.1 seconds

Hmmm, Isn't the defualt camera already third person?

+Rep if this helped

what you can do is lock the camera to a unit, then set its values (like angle of attack <aka AoA> and rotation) so that it's twards the unit's back

btw, 0.1 gets a bit choppy, i suggest useing .04

if your still stumped ask someone to provide a dummymap, i currently cant do that currently because im tired and in need of sleep, if you still need one, ill get it to you by 2mm

>swift - default camera is a birds eye veiw with a bit of a slant, but just enough so you can see the units (and not just their heads)

If the camera was on a unit like that that would be first person, third person for a camera well... It's hard to say, is this for a cinematic? If you're using it for a game and you are controlling the units then that's first/second person (because you aren't really the unit) but if it's a cinematic and you're watching two units talking then that'd be third person.

1st person view= View from the character.
3rd person view= A view from someone else (hence the 3rd) behind the character.
birds eye view= The view a bird would have if it was looking down from the sky.
