By measuring the distance between the camera and the player one can determine whether 1st-person or 3rd-person view is being used:
if ((positionCameraToWorld [0,0,0] distance player)>2) then {hint "3rd person"} else {hint "1st person"}; - Posted on 22:45, 17 October 2010 (CEST)

The camera coordinate system is different from the model coordinate system: when modelToWorld uses [x, y, z] then positionCameraToWorld uses [x, z, y]. So for a steady camera the following is true:
positionCameraToWorld [5,10,15] == _camera modelToWorld [5,15,10];

- When over land, the position returned is in format PositionATL, and over sea, PositionASLW.
