Instance Variable	`CAMERA_THIRD_PERSON`	Third-person camera perspective.
Instance Variable	`direction`	Camera view direction. Writable.
Instance Variable	`distance`	Distance to the projection plane. Writable.
Instance Variable	`height`	Camera height above the ground. Writable.
Instance Variable	`perspective`	Camera perspective mode. Writable.
Instance Variable	`plane`	Camera plane used for projection. Writable.
Instance Variable	`position`	World-space camera position. Writable.
