I want a cog, that at the start of the level the camera will be a ghost thing and you can see the player and can control him, after he passes an adjoin, the camera goes back to the 1st person view. I'd use a cog from LEC, but you can't control the player.

P.S. if anyone has used the Force POV mod, it should work sorta like that.

# Set's the camera focus to a ghost object upon startup
