Distance between camera and player

Can I alter the distance between the camera and player when the player is the control object? I tried using camera.setOrbitMode but it just ignores me.

Just grab the four digit server ID of the player (hit F8, F11 and the number will be floating on your player object) and type the code I gave you above into the console using that player ID for %player and any number > 0 for %distance. I'd recommend starting with 10 or 20 and working your way up / down from there. Don't go to high or you'll crash, a distance of zero will return the camera to normal.

For fun, you could also mess around with the chase cam distance:%player.chaseCam(%distance);
