Attach camera to AI player

I am working on getting a camera to mount to a player (or object) that will then follow a path with no user intervention.
I have gone through the codeSampler tutorials and can watch the bot running around, but i can't mount the camera to him.
I think it probably has to do with server/game.cs, but all I can seem to do is crash the engine or make the bot disappear.
All I need to do is attach the camera to his head. It seems really easy and probably is, but right now it is beyond me.
Any suggestions or blocks of code?

Being able to adjust speed dynamically would be a big plus.
Having an advanced camera behind/around/over the player really isn't much different from what I have now - I need to attach the view to the bot, so the camera runs around by itself.
In my project I have camera on path. I am playing with the CodeSampler tutorial trying to attach the view to an AIPlayer.
It's basically a guided walkthrough, with the player having very little control and needing to do nothing but watch.
Ideas anyone?

I have a camera on path, but I need to affect triggers, pause on path and resume, and adjust speed. Will a camera on path do all this? I tried but what I have now won't trip a trigger.Being able to adjust speed dynamically would be a big plus.
