Creating some effects in the 1st view

[MiG 0]

I would like to create a kind of a permanent inside mask view for my NBC soldier using the player 1st view. Is that possible to add (by scripting) some kind of effect type as we can see with NV Googles or in weapons model Optics effect and make it start with the addon?

If you make the mask a piece of equipment like the NV Goggles or binoculars, I think it is possible. Are they equipment items or built into a unit?

Hi Mig,

You have to make a model (can be just a flat plane with texture) in the Pilot-View and first LOD of the mode because inside vehicles, it is the first person LOD that displays.

Make sure the model faces the camera of the player.

However, if I'm not mistaken, all 'hlava' selections will be rendered invisible in first person view, however, this can be solved by declaring the 'inside' of the mask as a hidden selection and using setObjectTexture to texture the inside of the mask. The command should be run from the init eventHandler of the unit.

Since this change should only affect the player, I think it's best to script it to check if the player is the wearer, if not, it should exit.

use rescources...

if u for exampel write and desription.ext

aswell u can try that to see wot i mean

make a trigger and select any recource

best here take the telly screen or binocluars

let the trigger be activated by ur unit

and voila u run with binocs or telly screen around

now if u create a new rescourse and let it be activated withteh description.ext this woudl work fine

though u have to include the description.ext everytime u make a mission

cheers

AFAIK resources are visible in 3th person view.

I think @newiy had the right idea m8!

I think @nilphim, didnt understood that its an addon ur making not a mission. (mission effects uses description.ext)

It should be possible, it would be like having NV on all the time, but i cant tell u how its possible, try ofpec or some of the fdf or wgl guys for help, they have done similar things.
