detect when player is in optics

[Capjerahya 11]

Is there a way to determine if player switch from normal view to optics view and vice versa?

[Capjerahya 11]

I think no one knows. I'll just check Hardrock and Vektorboson's keyinput script which I think is the best solution for this one. My main aim was to tell if player press V mey for optics mode or V again to escape optics.

And I posted this in the wrong section aswell.

Yeah.I'd say that's the main reason you didn't get an answer. :)

I think the same would apply to hooking the user actions too.

Although I couldn't tell you how to achieve it,perhaps Fwatch

could be used?

With the eventhandler animchanged introduced in ArmA:CWA (1.99), it's possible to get the anim played by a unit ; such anims (the guy looking through the binoculars) are named "Binoc" when standing, "BinocLying" when lying, "BinocStand" with weapon on back, "BinocCrouch" when crouching. You should be able to build a script checking if one of those actions are played.

Disregard, this was about binoculars while you're looking after using weapon optics. I'm working too much it seems...

This is what I use:

if (cameraview == "GUNNER") then {player is using optics}

Aint cameraview introduce in A2?

@Maczer, I tried fwatch for it's keypress until I learn you can hook keypress V by creating a camera and check of it is deateyed everytime user press V key.

Oops! Didn't read the full thread path properly. My apologies Capjerahya

That didn't go as planned. :p I was trying out some 3d aiming but it's just to impossible to implement it with the animation i'm using. It clips the polygon even though I'm not yet zooming. I'll just make a better 2d optics instead.
