At this time only the wizard is 3rd person. (Unless, of course, it changed in the recent update; I haven't had any time to mess with it) 3rd person for all characters is part of the plan, though, and will be here eventually.

You can make them third person by adding " isthirdperson = 1 " ( without quotes ) to the fpe file
But they are not completely compatible yet ...When you fire you die
But its ok for testing

Really? That's cool, thanks! I had seen that line before but thought it only worked on the wizard. Nice!

I did some videos on how to do this to make other models third person ready, I'll forward the links later but you could try searching the forums e.g tpv or 3rd. You can do this using both the character creator or outside the gg character creator .

[update-please see links below]

The trick is to match the Wizard animations with the character you set to third-person. I will be making some changes so any character can a third-person character (with their own animation sets). The wizard character entities are a good guide.
