Iskindof, Force 1st Person in mission file

[Graz 1]

I've got a script to force first person if you are in a helicopter.

The trouble is Helicopters spawn throughout the mission and AI helicopter can be stolen by players.

I'm unsure how to run this script effectively, it's in the dircetory .pbo/scripts/force_firstperson.sqf

Two questions

1. How can I get this script to run on all players constantly throughout the mission

2. Will it repeat (Ie the get in a helicopter and get out, will the script run when they get in another helicopter??)

//force first_person.sqf

while {vehicle player isKindOf "Helicopter} do {

if(cameraView == "EXTERNAL" || cameraView == "GROUP") then {

vehicle player switchCamera "INTERNAL";

};

sleep 0.1;

};

This script was found here (Thanks Bon) : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?115454-force-1st-person&highlight=force+1st+person

this might work

while {true} do {

if((cameraView == "EXTERNAL" || cameraView == "GROUP") && (vehicle player isKindOf "Helicopter)) then {
vehicle player switchCamera "INTERNAL";
};

sleep 0.1;
};

put this in the unit init

_nvm = [] execVM "scripts/force_firstperson.sqf";

There, I fixed a small typo :p

while {true} do {

if((cameraView == "EXTERNAL" || cameraView == "GROUP") && (vehicle player isKindOf "Helicopter")) then {
vehicle player switchCamera "INTERNAL";
};

sleep 0.1;
};

Awesome, unfortunately putting it in the vehicle init line doesn't seem to be an option as there is vehicle's spawned mid mission. I'm uncomfortable cracking open someone elses mod to place init lines either.

The code is awesome, is there anywhere else I can use it apart from the vehicle init?

You shouldn't put it in the vehicle init. Put it in the init.sqf

if (!isDedicated) then 
{
0 spawn 
{
	while {true} do 
	{
		if((cameraView == "EXTERNAL" || cameraView == "GROUP") && (vehicle player isKindOf "Helicopter")) then 
		{
			vehicle player switchCamera "INTERNAL";
		};
	sleep 0.1;
	};
};
};

works perfectly.

Thanks again Cuel
