I've attempted to do this with Slayer and I wasn't able to figure it out.

Thats sucks.
How do other games pull it off? Or is it just the game engine?

other games pull it off by programming it in
it's just greek hasn't figured out how to make it look correct yet?

The closest I got was positioning the camera directly behind the player's head, not in front (which is what we need).

As far as I can tell, this isn't supported by default.

[phflack]

this is an addon though, doesn't the camera have coordinates of where to view from?
if it does, i'd just add a vector
although i feel like that would be too easy and doesn't work

[Greek2me]

I could do it by constantly moving the camera to just in front of the player. However it would be extremely hacky and probably look bad.

[phflack]

true, a little bit of lag would make it look terrible too?
