Allow 3rd Person View just for Vehicles / helicopters

[1para{god-father} 105]

Need some help on Allowing 3rd person view just for Vehicles / Helicopters Why does this not work ?

Thanks

init.sqf

if( local player ) then
{

[] execVM "limitThirdPersonView.sqf";

};

limitThirdPersonView.sqf

while {(true)} do
{
if (cameraView == "External") then
{
	if ((vehicle player) == player) then
	{
		player switchCamera "Internal";
	};
};
sleep 0.1;
};

Pm Melbo mate, he has just implemented a no 3rd party script unless in vehicles on our server..

[1para{god-father} 105]

I have set our server to stop 3rd part so that bit is fine, I Just need it to be allowed for Helicopters / vehicles can he post his script then ?

I'm also thing about something close to this, where you are in a chopper with cargo (boat) attached, as that always looks bad as the boat is drawn outside I was thinking of forcing an external view. camera view isn't enough I want it a little further away.

So if there is any script I wouldn't mind using it as I really suck at camera stuff.

Also if you come across how to get full screen as showCinemaBorder true/false only seems to work when it feels like it.

I use this script to disallow 3rd party for infantry but allow it for vehicles, but it requires the server to allow 3rd party view so I don't know if its of any use.

if (!local player) exitwith {};
while {true} do {

waitUntil {cameraView == "EXTERNAL" || cameraView == "GROUP"};

if (vehicle player isKindOf "man") then {
	player switchCamera "INTERNAL";
} else {
	waitUntil {vehicle player isKindOf "man"};
};		
};

I would be interested if anyone has a better way of achieving this.

ok worked it out using the AAS scripts that i found and it works great you can then set it to what you like in parameters at mission start.

in my Init.sqf i have this

[] execVM "Launchthirdperson.sqf";

then

Launchthirdperson.sqf

waitUntil { player == player };

if( local player ) then
{

[] execVM "limitThirdPersonView.sqf";

};

limitThirdPersonView.sqf

////Params_CameraView=1;  ////uncomment this if you do not set up parameters on mission start
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//                          MAIN ROUTINE
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// no loop need, if third person view is not available anyway
if (difficultyEnabled "3rdPersonView") then
{
switch (Params_CameraView) do
{
	case 1://vehicles only
	{
		while {(true)} do
		{
			if (cameraView == "External") then
			{
				if ((vehicle player) == player) then
				{
					player switchCamera "Internal";
				};
			};
			sleep 0.1;
		};
	};
	case 2://infantry only
	{
		while {(true)} do
		{
			if (cameraView == "External") then
			{
				if ((vehicle player) != player) then
				{
					(vehicle player) switchCamera "Internal";
				};
			};
			sleep 0.1;
		};
	};
	case 3://disabled
	{
		while {(true)} do
		{
			if (cameraView == "External") then
			{
				if ((vehicle player) == cameraOn) then
				{
					(vehicle player) switchCamera "Internal";
				};
			};
			sleep 0.1;
		};
	};
};
};

is this still working?

cant make it work :/

[samatra 85]

onEachFrame {
if(cameraOn == vehicle player) then {
	if(vehicle player == player) then {
		if(cameraView == "EXTERNAL") then {
			player switchCamera "INTERNAL";
		};
	};
};
};

SaMatra..

in the init ore???

[dimon 32]

onEachFrame {
if(cameraOn == vehicle player) then {
if(vehicle player != player) then {
if(cameraView == "EXTERNAL") then {
player switchCamera "INTERNAL";
};
};
};
};

still as an alternative:

{_x addAction ["", {}, "", 0, false, true, "curatorPersonView","{_x switchCamera 'INTERNAL';hint '3D off'} foreach crew _target"];} forEach vehicles

great guys.

where to inset it??

[samatra 85]

great guys.

where to inset it??

init.sqf in my case.

[loopdk 92]

tnx will try!!!!

No luck.

My init.sqf :

onEachFrame {

if(cameraOn == vehicle player) then {

if(vehicle player != player) then {

if(cameraView == "EXTERNAL") then {

player switchCamera "INTERNAL";

};

};

};

nopop=true;

tf_no_auto_long_range_radio = true;

[] execVM "VCOM_Driving\init.sqf";

[] execVM "briefing.sqf";

You didn't copy the full code, one }; is missing. Btw I had a typo in condition making it no 3rd person in vehicles instead of when on foot, opposite of what you need. Fixed it in original post and posting here again, make sure to copy full code piece!

onEachFrame {
if(cameraOn == vehicle player) then {
	if(vehicle player == player) then {
		if(cameraView == "EXTERNAL") then {
			player switchCamera "INTERNAL";
		};
	};
};
};

Also since onEachFrame is not stackable make sure other scripts don't override it and no 3rd person stops working.

[loopdk 92]

Tnx sir

[loopdk 92]

I actually think that we have misunderstood each other from the start.

What I seek is a script that allows the driver of the car or the pilot of the helicopter to choose whether he wants to see first person or in 3person

misunderstanding

[samatra 85]

onEachFrame {
   if(cameraOn == vehicle player) then {
       if(vehicle player == player) then {
           if(driver vehicle player == player) then {
               if(cameraView == "EXTERNAL") then {
                   player switchCamera "INTERNAL";
               };
           };
       };
   };
};

with the new 1.58 update is there anyway to make the External and internal views for aircraft usable through an addAction?

What I have so far:

 

Initialization for vehicle -

  vehicle player addAction ["Internal","Internal.sqf"];

  vehicle player addAction ["External","External.sqf"];

 

Internal.sqf -

  vehicle player switchCamera "INTERNAL";

  sleep 0.1;

 

External.sqf -

  vehicle player switchCamera "External";

  sleep 0.1;

 

(It works for like 1 millisecond, both with a sleep command and without.)

Sorry for the necro but as anyone found a solution?
