Regarding camera controller 3rd person view #82

Description

Maybe bugs:

  1. Turning Auto reset off, results in weird behavior, where camera is sort of locked behind the target node (looks like ignoring offset) and not reacting when this node changes orientation.

  2. Reset Timeout setting seems to have no effect at all, but then I don't really understand for what Auto Reset was meant.

What do I really wish for:

  1. A camera that is fixated behind the target node with a spring or similar.
  2. I like the smooth camera updates when target node rotates, but there should be a setting on how fast it does. For some games it needs to be more instant.
  3. For some games, the camera should not rotate with the target node, only react to translation and mouse. So another setting would be appreciated. Example https://developer.playcanvas.com/tutorials/third-person-controller/
  4. Spring should adjust when it collides with something. So its not the case, that player is a room, and camera is outside. I see there is already a camera collision option, but I haven't tested it yet. So I wrote this anyways :)
  5. More setting should be exposed. Sometimes in a shooter game, we need to switch between TPS and FPS, for example for precise aiming. Maybe its just changing offset, distance and switching off/on collisions.
