the camera values are in com_inf_default. change them there or copy them into your soldier to change for that soldier.
// Think of camera as fixed on one end of long stick balanced on a cone
//-- on one end is camera, other end is focal point, cone at center can be shifted
//-- camera is eyepoint; TrackOffset is focal point; Trackcenter is cone position; tilt value is tilt on pole
EyePointOffset = "0.0 2.5 -2.0" // Camera position from vehicle origin x,y,z
TrackCenter = "0.0 5.0 0.0" // Camera tilt axis from vehicle origin x,y,z
TrackOffset = "0.0 0.0 10.0" // Camera Focal Point from vehicle origin x,y,z
TiltValue = "5.0" // How much camera can tilt
PitchLimits = "-30 20" // How far camera swings when pitching in degrees
YawLimits = "-90 90" // How far camera swings when tilting in degrees

Hm..really interesting. Maybe I gonna make an asset where you can fly a whole frigate. If that works for vehicles and turrets too..

It does. every controllable unit has these lines somewhere in it's hierarchy.

I remember learning about the x, y, and z axis in school, but i have no idea what EyePointOffset ,TrackCenter ,TrackOffset, TiltValue ,PitchLimits and YawnLimits are. So what I'm basically asking for is to someone to figure out the coordinates for what I'm trying to do and give them to me. I guess I could do them my self but it would sure take alot of munging for someone like me

Well, is that the zoom in 3rd person? Than just copy those numbers and put them in the standard idle pose.

well I imaged it to be that, only zoomed out a bit to look like the picture, dose anyone have the coordinate that they could give me for that for that

Requests go in the
All-Purpose Request Thread, but unless you're still willing to figure this out yourself:
- Look at the original camera position values.
- Now look at the original zoom camera position values.
- Notice the differences between two.
- Try intermediate values between the two until you get the result you desire.
