Controlling the camera?

I would like to make a ui enhancement that allows me to bind keys on the keyboard to make the camera look up or look down. Not a fixed camera angle, but a pan up/down. Can anyone give me a clue if this is possible or if a mod like this already exists?

I've already created a CameraKeys addon built that does that (or as much as I can find API calls for)

None that i'm aware of, that seems to be a limitation of the game's keyboard actions.

Depending on what you're trying to do, there is always FlipCameraYaw, which is instantaneous, but can be a little disorienting since it adds a fixed rotational offset to the camera from the player.

e.g.

FlipCameraYaw(180) -- Look behind you
FlipCameraYaw(180) -- Look in front again

FlipCameraYaw(90) -- Look to one side
FlipCameraYaw(180) -- Look to the other side
FlipCameraYaw(90) -- Look in front again
