Scripts for lock 3rd person

[JeckoFR 10]

Hello, I'am french so, sorry for my basic english. I need the commands to disable 3rd person, weapons cursor, and the commands to force viewdistance and grass on my mission.

Thanks

This is not done by means of script, it's a server dificulty level thing:

Check the part: ****.Arma3AlphaProfile

It defines a couple of difficulty levels.

I doesn't have a server, but, i found a script with can force the 1st person off vehicle, but it's possible to switch between 1st and 3rd in vehicle, in a trigger

[killzone_kid 1330]

You don't need server. From main menu click options -> game -> difficulty

Every body can change the difficulty, i play in multiplayer with this mission

while {true} do {if(vehicle player != player) then {player switchCamera "Internal";};sleep 0.5;};

BangaBob, I think he wanted the opposite, when in vehicle, be able to switch from 1st to 3rd. I may be wrong but I think you have to do the if(vehicle player = player) then... force internal

thanks for this code, I was curious also to know a way to programmatically do it!

regards,

Holo

Google for "3rdperson.fsm" for another way to do it.

This is what we use, forces no 3rd on player but allows any vehicle to have it , you can chnage as you see fit

Params_CameraView=1;  // could set in decription but no need for this mission
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//                          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;
		};
	};
};
};

As Killzone mentioned:

setViewDistance = 1500

For terrain detail:

setTerrainGrid = 50

And your English is fine :p

this script prevents 3rd person as long as the player is outside of a vehicle and is rather small codewise.Bangabobs script prevents people from using their ironsights since its always forcing the internal view.

[]spawn{
while {true} do {
	waitUntil{
			sleep 5; //used to save recources and allows for a quick "stylecheck" adjust as you see fit
			cameraOn == player && cameraView == "External"
		}; 
	player switchCamera "Internal";
	};
};

	};
};

how would I call this script? via mission init or trigger? Any downside on performance or anything if its checking this for each player every 5 seconds?

thanks

You could put it in the init.sqf and wrap it in a if (hasInterface) then {... structure.

(you don't want a DS or HC's to run this but you do for a locally hosted server, MP client or SP)

EDIT:

Something like this:

if (hasInterface)then {
[] spawn {
	while {true} do {
		waitUntil{
				sleep 5; 
				cameraOn isEqualTo player and {cameraView == "External"}
		}; 
		player switchCamera "Internal";
	};
};
};

You can speed it up a bit by using isEqualTo instead of == in the cameraView statement. I was reticent to change it as I wasn't sure if "External" was in the right case. I guess you could do some cameraView isEqualTo toLower "external" check, but it's prob better to check the string and make sure the upper and lower cases are proper. (if you care about making it as quiuck as can be that is).
