I’m trying to make a third person camera and simply cant find a way to keep the camera a specific distance behind the character object while keeping it pointed in the direction of the characters prospective.

Is there a function which can measure the distance from the camera to the object or one which will simply allow me to orbit the character object which I can then moderate?

Tried it, it didn’t but I’ve worked out how and here's it:



Worth looking at I think because it’s a good way of making a 3RD person perspective imo.

I'm enjoying this now, got two of three of my camera perspectives done and my perspective adjustment left click thing. RTS view up next.
