bind downarrow vstr zn1

To use this when watching a demo, press F7 to enter the 3rd person view. Then you can use the up, down, left, right arrow keys to move in, out and around the person.

I'd also suggest making your movie config read only.

the script is still not complete. rotating left doesnt touches the rotating right button, so u always have a different start of rotation (same with zoom). will post corrected version later.

[Heldenhaft (old)]

Below version, should be a better one (and maybe the one DASPRiD is about to post ;> ). Binded to the end and arrow-keys.
