You all know how the normal veiw lets you scroll, right, but i want it so that is a camera mode with 2 other camera types, one that follows behind the character (slightly back) and one that is locked at a hight, but can be controlled by the arrow keys, and, on top of it all, they need to be changeable by pressing the "esc" key, i need help on this, so a big ty will go to the person that did it (a early spot in the credits map)

I'd recommend to use a dialog for this.
To use escape, use the event: 'Player skips a cinematic scene'

Then, when escape is pressed, open the dialog, add the buttons for the different camera modes, and create the execution triggers.

Best way to learn how to lock camera's to unit and such, i'd recommend downloading the 'shootout' map in my map list, a 3d person view is used there aswel.

click on his name, and look on his profile at the list of maps that he has uploaded to this site.

I would not use a dialog and just make the view cycle through the views using the esc key. If you insist on using the esc key.
