I've asked that question before (not on these forums), and have been told that using that command is illegal because it's a form of cheating.

Needless to say, no one has given to me. I would like to take some screenshots of my maps with a 3rd person view as well, so hopefully someone who maps will understand why we would want to use it.

I think 3rd person is only helpful in 'seeing around corners' situtations. From personal experience and other people telling me, i find it hard to manuver and to 'judge' things while in 3rd...

If you want to view yourself from the front, you'll need to put a func_camera in your map and switch to that view. Here is an html page that tells all about cameras.

+cameralook, bind a key to this and you will be able to swing around the player so you can get a nice close up of your face or what every you want. It only works in 3rd person and i dont think the camera look will set off any bells and whistles with Anti Cheat programs so feel free to use it.

Its how i took all of the screen shots you see here:Shameless Plug Here
