Limit 3rd Person View

[reaper lok 82]

So I did a search and found lots of older posts to my needs, however, since one of the many ArmA 3 updates the older script I had successfully used is now NOT functioning.

 

I am looking for a script to limit the use of third person view when on foot.  If in vehicles players can access 3rd person (cars, planes and choppers).

 

Does anyone have a link or a script that I can use that we know for sure works with the latest ArmA 3 stable build?

 

Thanx in advance :)

Ace has a module that does this, or are you looking for a vanilla mission?

 

If so, what about this one? http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26369

I use this:
 

/*
	Function: HALs_fnc_limitThirdPerson
	Author: HallyG
	Limits third person use to vehicles only.

	Arguments(s):
	None

	Return Value:
	None
	
	Example:
	// initPlayerLocal.sqf
	call HALs_fnc_limitThirdPerson;
__________________________________________________________________*/
if (!hasInterface) exitWith {};
if (!isNil "HALs_tp_cameraView") exitWith {};

HALs_tp_cameraView = cameraView;
HALs_tp_oldVehicle = vehicle player;

addMissionEventHandler ["EachFrame", {
	if (inputAction "PersonView" > 0 || !(cameraView isEqualTo HALs_tp_cameraView) || !(vehicle player isEqualTo HALs_tp_oldVehicle)) then {
		if (cameraOn isEqualTo vehicle player) then {
			if (isNull objectParent player) then {
				if (cameraView isEqualTo "EXTERNAL") then {
					player switchCamera "INTERNAL";
				};
			};
		};
	};
			
	HALs_tp_cameraView = cameraView;
	HALs_tp_oldVehicle =  vehicle player;
}];

Thanx fellas - I will try the code from HallyG as the Armaholic link is not working for me. 

 

I will update later with my findings :)

where do I put this script? I am kind of new to scripting so I am quite confused. Or if you could tell me what ACE module it is that would work for me as well
