Not sure if this should be posted here or in scripting so perhaps a mod can move if necessary

Anyway back at the beginning of 2016 Disturbing 13 asked



but never got a reply.

I am currently working on a short sequence that involved the player passing through a narrow tunnel at one point and a script of whatever to switch between third and first person would be great. Kind of like you can in SkyRim although that is user controlled. Or is this a hard coded thing and not possible through scripting?

Anyone have any info or suggestions on this one.

Thanks.

Not possible yet as far as I know. It is on the feature voting board list however.

Not directly possible at the moment as Teabone says but I did find it worked quite well from Level to level.
So each map could have a different perspective and a variation on gameplay .

Well, I force control over the camera in my RPGMark example. I'm sure checking out the script behind it will give you some ideas here It's quite possible to control the camera in GG and I haven't even tried the latest commands that are available; RPGMark only uses old lua commands - there are several new camera specific commands I have never experimented with which may be far better.

Edit - Of course 3rd person probably complicates matters It may well be possible still, but as I say, there are a lot of new lua commands available which I haven't done any testing of. I've never tried lua scripting for 3rd person stuff, as by default it is still a little basic. It may well be you would have to script everything to be able to switch between views.

Thanks for the replies guys.

You can do this with changes to gameplayercontrol.lua.

I'm on week three of change/test trial and error with this, but it is definitely possible - I keep thinking I've got all the (introduced) bugs and knock-on impacts sorted then another crops up - though I am changing a lot of other player control aspects too.

Cheers.

Saboteur looks cool!
