To return to your normal first person shooter, simply use the command 'firstperson”. The command 'cam_idealdist 64' changes the standard camera distance. 'chase_active 1' changes the view to a more passive style ('chase_active 0' to turn off) -'cam_idealpitch 90' changes standard camera pitch angle. There are more camera commands that you can play around with for whatever reason. (command: 'cam_idealyaw 1') Now you have an active chasecam third person. To do this, you have to change the camera's yaw angle number.
Next, put it in third person (command: 'thirdperson') Now change the camera angle to behind the player instead of to his right side. Make sure cheats are on (command: 'sv_cheats 1'). NOTE: All commands are to be typed WITHOUT the quotes. Here’s how to get a real active following chase-cam style third person view and not the annoying side view.
