I'm not very familiar with Arma view modes..but I'm wondering if its possible to get an external view of your character from the 3rd person, without the guys head always being turned away from the camera. I understand I can do free-look with double ALT (or hold down ALT), but as the camera pans around the guy, his head turns to keep his face away from the camera.

Is there a trick to panning around the 3rd person without this happening?



dizzy

The reason I'm asking is I'm revisiting TOH: HERE! and it uses similar commands to Arma 2 I think..

Arma does has a Command Mode that gives you a free camera to look at the battlefield and command troops; but I don't know if TOH would have it. In Arma it's the numpad period (delete) key

You'll probaly need a spectator/camera script in the mission for a free-camera in TOH

You have to have someone under your command and/or in your group to work. It's been a few months, but I thought ToH had the same key/function.
