This module provides utilities for managing temporary in-game cameras, useful for cutscenes, cinematic views, or scripted perspectives.

createTempCam(ent, coords)
- Creates a temporary camera at the specified coordinates or relative to an entity.
- If ent is an entity, the camera position is calculated as an offset from the entity's position using GetOffsetFromEntityInWorldCoords.
- If ent is a vector3, it is used directly as the camera's position.
- Example:
```
local cam = createTempCam(PlayerPedId(), GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId()) + vector3(0, 2.0, 1.0))
```
startTempCam(cam)
- Activates and renders the temporary camera.
- Example:
```
startTempCam(cam)
```
stopTempCam()
- Deactivates and deletes all currently running custom camera, restoring normal view.
- Example:
```
stopTempCam()
```
