You're not only lazy, you're even impatient.

You can either do it yourself. In this case you will get any help you need from this community if you experience difficulties.

The other possibility is letting somebody do it for you and pay him or her.

take a look at the manual: script libraries -> camera.c there you have different cameras ready to use

Simple and fast way without math grin
Place a bone in your playermodel at the pos where the camera should be.
use this code
Code:
void cam2bone(STRING* bonename){
  while(my){
     vec_for_bone(camera.x,   me, bonename);
     ang_for_bone(camera.pan, me, bonename);
     wait(1);
   }
}
..
action myPlayer(){
 cam2bone("Name of the in med placed bone");
 ..
}

Same works with a vertex of course

@paracharlie

I don't see the problem here i pointed you to my place
were in the basic workshop are many camera views including the one you need. Others also pointed you in the right direction
so with a little effort you should have your solution laugh

Well 3DGS is more for programmers, new people need to read AUM code.
For new comers, beginners, 3DG should re implement the default Third camera system (like in A6 days) !
I mean the default script selection when creating a new game.

this is piece of my code (move and rotate )
but There are many problems for example
Player get into the walls and floor
Mouse go round 360 degrees
And when we shoot bullets fired from different places will

Code:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
var c_move_w;
var c_move_s; 
///////////////////////////////main function ////////
function main ()
{
	level_load ("level1.wmb");
	video_mode = 7;
}
///////////////////////////////action myplayer ////////
action myplayer ()
{
	while(1)
	{
		/////////////////////////////////////move
		if (key_w == 1)
		{
			c_move(my,vector(40*time_step,0,0),NULL,GLIDE);
			ent_animate(my,"walk",c_move_w,ANM_CYCLE);
			c_move_w +=10*time_step;
		}
		if (key_s == 1)
		{
			c_move(my,vector(-40*time_step,0,0),NULL,GLIDE);
			ent_animate(my,"walk",c_move_s,ANM_CYCLE);
			c_move_s +=10*time_step;
		}
		//////////////////////////////////// pan
		my.pan -= mouse_force.x;
		my.tilt +=mouse_force.y;
		////////////////////////////////////camera following
		vec_set(camera.x,vector(-150,30,25)); //////////////third person camera
      vec_rotate(camera.x,my.pan);
      vec_add(camera.x,my.x);
      vec_set(camera.pan,vector(my.pan,-10,0)); 
      vec_set(camera.tilt,vector(my.tilt,0,0)); 
		/////////////////////////////////////////
		wait(1);
	}
}

You should check the last ones AUM magazine talking about the RPG template.
You have just to take the code of the third person character controller.

Your code overwrites random portions of memory.
Code:
vec_set(camera.tilt,vector(my.tilt,0,0));
Do the tutorial. I think you have no clue about the code above and that you have copied it from the AUM. Am I right about this?
