__NOTOC__
This function toggles the camera mode between a fixed view and the default player chase view. The camera's position and rotation in fixed mode can be set by the [[setCameraPosition]] and [[setCameraLookAt]] functions respectively.
==Syntax==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
bool toggleCameraFixedMode ( bool fixed )
</syntaxhighlight>

===Required Arguments===
*'''fixed:''' A boolean indicating the camera mode; ''true'' for fixed view, ''false'' for chase view.

===Returns===
Returns a [[bool]] with a value of ''true'' if the function was successful, ''false'' otherwise.

==Example==
'''Example 1:''' This example sets the player's camera above Blueberry Acres at a downward angle:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
toggleCameraFixedMode(true)
setCameraPosition(-16.268127441406, -46.674671173096, 29.565118789673)
setCameraLookAt(-68.21085357666, 34.687622070313, 11.11138343811)
</syntaxhighlight>

'''Example 2:''' This example points the player's camera at the killer whenever the player dies:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
local thePlayer = getLocalPlayer() -- get the player running this client-side script
-- add an event handler to call the onDeath function whenever the player dies
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerWasted", thePlayer, "onDeath")
function onDeath(theAttacker, weapon, bodypart)
if (theAttacker and theAttacker ~= thePlayer) then -- make sure there is a killer
-- store the position of the victim and killer
local playerX, playerY, playerZ = getElementPosition(thePlayer)
local attackerX, attackerY, attackerZ = getElementPosition(theAttacker)
-- set the player's camera to fixed view
toggleCameraFixedMode(true)
-- set the camera's position at the player and in the killer's direction
setCameraPosition(playerX, playerY, playerZ)
setCameraLookAt(attackerX, attackerY, attackerZ)
-- set the camera back to normal after 3 seconds
setTimer("toggleCameraFixedMode", 3000, 1, false)
end
end
</syntaxhighlight>
