Hi,
You can checkout the following video, that is the camera system I am looking for.

Crysis 3rd Person on Rails

I am looking for a similar camera system for making may game. Please help.
I want the code for finding the nearest point on the path, from the player position anywhere in world.
Then the camera can be positioned on that position along the path.
I suppose then I can implement other aspects of the camera system myself.

Thanks,
MSL.

I wont do it for you but i'll tell you were I'd look to implement it yourself. look in the manual at how to work with paths, build your path in wed, then interpolate the position of the camera between the to closest nodes on the path to your target.

2. find the closest point on the path in relation to the player
3. position the camera on that path and lookat player.
