Disable 3rd on Foot?

[camdev 1]

So I was wondering if anyone knew a script to disable 3rd while on foot, while still making it available in vehicles. Also if I could have a brief explanation on how to make it work it would be appreciated. Thanks

This should work, I just tested it.

Paste this in your init.sqf:

if !(isServer) then 
{
if (player != player) then 
{ waitUntil { player == player; }; };
[] execVM "disable3rdPerson.sqf";
};

Make a new sqf file and name it "disable3rdPerson.sqf"

Paste what's below into it, and save it to your mission folder.

if (difficultyEnabled "3rdPersonView") then //Checks to see if third person is enabled
{ 
while {true} do 
{
	if (cameraView == "External") then
	{
		if ((vehicle player) == player) then
		{
			player switchCamera "Internal";
			player commandChat "Third Person on foot has been disabled by the mission maker!";
		};
	};
	sleep 0.1;
};
};

Be advised, this Will NOT Work in the Editor, only on a server.

So will all of this still leave 3rd person available if driving?

Correct.

There's also a module in ACE that does this :P
