Is it possible to have the camera rotate around the character without the character turning with it? (Third person view)

If you've played Splinter Cell or Ninja Gaiden, you'll know what I mean.

The default camera is fixed to the back of the character so that you never see his face. I would like to have a free camera that rotated around the character.

I've tested every console command that I could find, and none of them allow the camera to break free from the character's back.

Thanks.

Maybe you'll find this helpful:

Add these to ur config.cfg:

bind "KP_PLUS" "+camin"
bind "KP_MINUS" "+camout"
bind "KP_UPARROW" "cam_yaw 180"
bind "KP_PGUP" "cam_yaw 225"
bind "KP_RIGHTARROW" "cam_yaw 270"
bind "KP_PGDN" "cam_yaw 315"
bind "KP_DOWNARROW" "cam_yaw 0"
bind "KP_END" "cam_yaw 45"
bind "KP_LEFTARROW" "cam_yaw 90"
bind "KP_HOME" "cam_yaw 135"
bind "KP_INS" "pause"
bind "KP_DEL" "screenshot"

These lines will make ur numpad work as a camera adjuster, hope that helped!

That is useful, but I was hoping that I could control the character with a free camera.

I'm sure there is a way to do it. If I find an answer, I will post it here.

Thanks.
