People are still working on this, and if you ask how, probably mean you wont be able to use it anyway
AND Look around here and you should actually have seen a lot of threads about third person view..

There is 2 maps up that give a good example in editor how to do it

Ill post tommorow an update to that map so you can see how to add mouse control for the camera with just 2 functions.

I have updated the mentioned thread so you can check it out now. I think its not the best way to create a TPS because of the way the camera rotates(Rotating around the Camera Eye rather then the Camera Target) but that should be just perfect for FPS Cameras. I will try to find a better way for a TPS but I'm guessing it will be more complicated dealing with periodic events and mouse position checking.
