Just started this... some questions...

Okay, for starters, I'm new to this engine and I've been looking over it a bit and playing around with it for a few days, but I have a couple of questions...
1. How can I make a better 3rd person view? For example, allowing the player to change the zoom of the camera so that it's not so close behind them, or making the camera follow behind the player only when needed, so that it's not like the camera is stuck to your back. (what I'm going for is like your basic 3d action/adventure 3rd person cam, such as mario 64, any of the zelda n64/gamecube games, or basically most 3D console platformers)
2. How should I go about making gliding? Such as the player jumps into the air, presses a button, and glides forward, while slowly descending. Basically like they are using a hang glider. (higher up they are, the longer they glide) They jump, glide, then land a distance away (while being able to control the direction of the glide)
Thanks in advance for any help. I appreciate it. :)
