ThirdPersonSelfCam
A lightweight third person camera for R.E.P.O. — for yourself, while alive.
Press a hotkey (default V) to switch between the normal first person view and a third person view behind your own avatar. It behaves just like the normal camera (same aim, same rotation, same field of view, same follow), it is simply pulled back so you can see yourself — similar to the spectate camera, except it only ever spectates you.
Features
- Toggle first / third person with a configurable hotkey.
- Wall collision so the camera never clips through geometry.
- Your own body, held item and flashlight render correctly in third person.
- Stands down automatically while you are dead / spectating, then re-applies on respawn.
- Fully configurable (distance, height, over-the-shoulder offset, smoothing, optional scroll-zoom).
