Camera behind Player

How can I set the camera behind the player and not to north?

setCameraTarget

But it doesn't always work properly.

setCameraTarget can't be the soplution because this is the command I use in my script. And the camera looks to north. Maybe it's a problem that the player is in the near of a wall (3-5 steps).

Ah that way. I thought you meant the camera on top of Mt. Chilliad.

I have some hack in one of my scripts which calculates a specific distance behind the player, set the camera matrix to that and then setCameraTarget with a small timer. Although for a real solution, I guess you need to poke the MTA devs with something to make them fix issue #4579.
