Limit 3rd Person View by class

[1para{god-father} 105]

Does anyone know how i can restrict 3rd person by Class ?

As I want ONLY pilots & engineers to be able to have 3rd person view

am using this ATM -

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;
		};
	};
};
};

Engineers can be easily identified via their "engineer = 1" config entry. Pilots do not have anything like that so you'd have to check for something else instead.

Anyway, why don't you simply allow thirdperson only for the driver/pilot of a vehicle?

I need engineers to have 3rd person as you will be base building and need external view to move Objects :)

_whitelist = [ "B_soldier_...", "bla" ];
_top = typeof player;

if ( _top in _whitelist ) exitWith {};

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

sleep 0.5;
};

something like this?

Yep simple did not think of that :)

Cheers T-800a :)

Hi. I am almost new to editing so I gotta ask this :)

I've made an Insurgency mission to play with friends(we have a dedicated server) and I too would like to allow the pilots 3rd person view. So this PHP code above, where am I to put that and do we need to allow the 3rd Person view in the server settings(we play only 1st person)?

Thanks guys.

Good morning community,

i would like to set my server to first person out of vehicles and 3rd person in vehicles like Hunter or Ghost Hawk.

Can someone help me ? what script i have to use and how can i set it up.

I´m sorry for my bad englisch im german.

best regards eXpeRienC

Run on client (untested):

_code = {
if ((vehicle player) == player) then {
	player switchCamera "Internal";
} else {
	(vehicle player) switchCamera "External";
};
};

["IP_OnEachFrameEH", "onEachFrame", _code] call BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler;

I need a serverside script.

That nobody needs to download extras

You would include it in the mission.

Where do you actually put this code? I'm pretty new at this. I copied and pasted this into my description.ext and it crashed my game. I'm obviously doing it wrong.

Thanks
