SetCamera

Puts this player’s view at a point, looking at another - the client side of the game mode’s camera.

The view moves to x y z and looks at lx ly lz, gliding there from where it is over ms milliseconds (0 = a cut, at most 60000; the glide eases in and out), with the field of view fov. The player’s body stays where it is, its head shown, and their keys still move it. It is the same camera the game mode moves with its SetPlayerCamera: the last call - this one or the mode’s - wins. The view holds until ResetCamera.

Syntax
