Nedd help with the Chase cam

[mofu23]

I'm working on an project called PSPikmin that is a quake/kurok clone of the nintendo game Pikmin. I am, however, new to the whole coding ordeal. So for starters, can anyone help me with the chase cam so that when you press a button i goes behind the player.

In the console or a config file like config.cfg or autoexec.cfg

alias +chase_on "chase_active 1"
alias -chase_on "chase_active 0"
bind mouse1 +chase_on

Pressing mouse1 and holding it will put camera behind player, releasing it will go back to normal.

Better make the Chasecam in QC, with chase_active 1 you can look thru brushes and the playermodel "rotates" when looking up/down...

Okay. i should have been a little bit more specific. In pikmin the player controls captin olimar in third person. the player can move front and back; side to side but the camera doesnt follow him. when you press the button. the camera moves from its position and goes behind the player. Kind of like when you play GTA and you turn the camera while driving a car but as you drive without rotating the camera moves behind the car. something like that but the camera need a button press to go behind.

I suggest you first to master Quake modding in the PC, where there are more development resources, engines full of cool features and experienced people to help.
Once you feel comfortable with things like compiling the game code to generate the progs.dat and make simple changes (like toying with the chasecam or weapons behavior), you could try to apply what you learned on the PSP.
