Looking behind the character

I'm fairly sure I remember a bind for this. Something to hold down to quickly change your view from looking in front to looking behind. When released, it goes back to the original view.

If anyone remembers something similar (To prove I'm not crazy), or how to bind it to a button, that would be great.

I looked under Keymapping, where I thought I would have originally found it, but can't find it there.

Thank you.


(If not, I've got a programmable keyboard/mouse + whatever else if someone has ideas).

Basically a snap-view. Various MechWarrior games had that capability.

As for doing it in CoH? Unsure.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

I've neither seen nor heard of such a command.

I can't remember how to do this, but you could set up a bind that uses /camdist to pull back to max camera distance on keypress, and another /camdist command to reset it to normal on key release.

Maybe a bind using camdist <large number> (there's probably a cap) along with cam_reset? You could try searching for those commands in the forum to see if anyone posted something like you are describing.

Edit: Bah, ninja'd again.

I'm sorry, but this thread must actually be filed into the category of proof that you may be crazy.

Hehe, I don't recall any such feature or keybind. Just "B" to bring the camera right back behind you (toggle it between being in and out of first person).

I actually use /camdist 140 to zoom out as far as possible when I play.

If I can't find a bind I may just have to get quick with my mouse. Thanks everyone
