Forced 3rd person (help)

[_leech 29]

Is there any way of forcing 3rd person while in a vehicle / sitting on a chair / etc. ?

 

Thanks in advance

Hm this seems to keep the camera in a fixed position unable to look around or control the player and still able to go into 1st person.

 

How do i force 3rd person when e.g. entering a vehicle/sitting on a chair and keep it 3rd person (unable to go into 1st and still able to look around) until exiting that vehicle/chair?

 

Anyone know?

Whatever this is, it is unrelated to switchCamera command. As for preventing person from manually switching back, there is no command for that. It can be done with scripted workaround, but usually all those workarounds are ugly and inefficient

@killzone_kid Oh ok. Thanks for the help and info. I have a camera view mod enabled which might be causing the fixed thing.

 

If anyone know of any existing scripts (buggy or not) that prevents going 1st person, feel free to post them here.

Already did and forums too. I did quickly look at the "3rdView Restrictions" script but thought it was eliminating 3rd person since it had a red cross over it on the armaholic page. Anyways i'm gonna try it out now.

//on each vehicle you want 3rd person for driver put this in the init : nul = [this] execVM "ATM_script\3rd_person\3rdperson.sqf";

if (isDedicated) exitWith {};

_vehi = _this select 0;
thirdperson_allowed = false;

While {not thirdperson_allowed} do {

	waitUntil {(alive _vehi) && (player == driver _vehi)};

	player remoteControl driver _vehi;
	_vehi switchCamera "EXTERNAL";

	if ((player != driver _vehi)) Then {
		objNull remoteControl driver _vehi;
		player switchCamera "internal";
	};
};

So this one works beautifully for vehicles. Any idea on how to use something like this for chairs (with acex sitting) or taru pods?

With CBA, a half secound delay

[
    {
        if (cameraView == "External") then {player switchCamera "internal"};
    },
    0.5,
    [] //
] call CBA_fnc_addPerFrameHandler;

This seems to work the same as the "3rdView Restrictions" script and it runs nowhere as smooth as ATM's script. With this, you can still see the screen getting black for a small period when hitting enter no matter how short delay you choose. Also, you are affected by this script all of the time, so you are constantly in 3rd/1st person mode (every time you walk forward the camera switches to 3rd/1st person).

 

Does anyone have any idea on how to use ATM's script for taru pods or acex chair sitting?

 

Thx

Do you really need a controll per EACH Frame? WaitUntil check the condition eachframe...

 

In my example, you have only to chance

If (cameraVieW == "External" && !(vehicle player) != player then {...}
