extending the camera

[legacy-auchzahgen]

I'm interested in doing some things to the the third person camera in UT2k3 but I need somebody to point me in the right direction.

I'd like to get the third person camera farther from the player and make it fixed. I want to be able to control it myself by making it follow a path. I guess this is kind of like the cinematic stuff, but I'd like to be able to have the fixed during a playable game.

Can anyone give me an idea where I'd need to start or if this is even possible?

Thanks,

I believe there's a tutorial at sega 500 (http://gamestudies.cdis.org/~jgiles/) that mods the 3rd person camera to make it act like the one in mario sunshine... Might help your problem. Their tutorials don't do the best job of explaining what the hell's going on, but at least it's a start...

Thanks! These camera tutorial will be very useful.
