Can Torque handle RTS and FPS at same time?

Hi Guys,
I am wanting to look at how ghost recon uses FPS and Squad Based control.
Can Torque allow a FPS to be able to use a button to switch to a RTS mode and a birdseye view map?
The way how Ghost Recon allows players to run around shooting and then switch to map mode and move NPCs around.
I dont have the RTS pack yet, and hoping that some people who have played with the RTS pack may have seen if this is possible. Thanks guys.

Not sure if the rtscam has a first person mode but with the advanced cam resource you can do this for sure

The Advanced Camera resource would be the way to go, I think. It is possible, but the camera view is the least of your worries in this scenario. Intuitive control between modes would be. I personally found Ghost Recon to be rather clunky in that fashion.

Thanks for your help guys. Im still working on the control method and yep, making its a challenge. At the moment it still feels like a hash between Ghost Recon and Commandos.
