This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

Using the pattern

There are a number of different types of Third-Person Views: over the shoulder, which shows a game entity from above slightly to the side; overhead, which provides excellent relations to the surrounding but which offers little information about the game entity itself; and chase-cam, which follows the game entity exactly behind in the element's line of movement. These can be modified by either linking the movement of the Camera to the movement of the game entity or locking the Camera to a position relative to the environment. Players can also be given a Freedom of Choice to manipulate Camera in several ways: by modify them the positioning slightly, by being able to switch between different Camera modes, or being able to move the Camera freely with certain distances from the entities followed.
