How to change camera from 1st person view into a 3rd person view???

[blu_comet]

Hey guys, i'm new around here and this is my first time working on a mod in UT2004. So i'm in-experience in using UT2004 as far as things go, so please bear with me.

Here is my question, we are working on a action rpg type game for our mod in ut2004, and we want to change the default 1st person camera view to a 3rd person view, but i haven't got a clue on where to begin or how to do this, so can you please give me some pointers or advice on how to approach this??? is there any good tutorials out there that cover this stuff???
If you guy know the answer, i would really appreciate if you guys be a bit more detail in your explanation!!!!

A big THANK YOU and HUG to anyone who can help me out!! )

in ut2k4 you only type 'behindview 1' to enable 3rd person or 'behindview 0' to disable it in the console (i know, you could actually just use F4 but since i guess you're looking for a console command or something...)
hopefully this will help you

Set bBehindView = True, I think that should do it. bBehindview is a variable in the PlayerController so you'll have to reference the controller when you set it.

EDIT: Just found this little tut http://www.joshuawinn.com/unrealCamera.html not sure how relevant it is to what you intend doing but maybe it's a start.

A big thankyou to nELsOn and AZ-{OVGY} for the codes.
Yeah i know that i can just press F4 during in game to change the camera into a 3rd person view, but that is not what i want to achieve.

I want the game to start up with a 3rd person view by default, and doesn't require u to press F4 to switch the camera view, i hope the codes u guys provided me will work, i will let u guy know how that goes.... Thanks!!!! i will be back!
