Hi,
Is it possible via scripting to switch between 3rd and 1st person perspective in GameGuru?

I would like to be able to walk around in 3rd person perspective and then at certain points (say closeup examining a desk drawer) in the game to auto switch to 1st person perspective. Then when I walk away from that point it turns back to 3rd person perspective?

Is this possible??
Sorry I am only starting to learn LUA scripting and more of a game designer and visuals type of person. Any help would be appreciated

Im guessing it can be kind of faked via scripting like Amenmoses has done with his trucks.
They switch from third person to inside the cab in first person … Not the same I know but I bet the same sort of thing could be done with third person character views ..

Just hide the 3rd person character and control the camera directly, first person is basically just a camera anyhow.
Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!

It is possible i was playing with it in the beta release in 2017.
You need to modify gameplayercontrol.lua. for it to work.
I lost all my work about a year ago, So im having to redo everything i had done, ill add this one to the list, but it might take a while,

GG already actually makes swapping between third and first person super easy - no need to edit any core files, just start in third person (so GG will set up the third person camera and character etc) then you can easily swap with the SetGamePlayerControlThirdpersonEnabled() command & a little bit of extra code to make it cleaner.
i attached a file that you can assign to an always active object which will let you swap back and forth via pressing E in game


sorry for the quick changes in the middle of the video, i was just showing it can be swapped repeatedly & instantly with no issues

Thanks smallg
It works great.
I remember when it was first released in beta it didnt carry over sounds, health, weapons, etc between switching so lee has rewritten it, to make it so it does.

The other option i was working on back then, was to swap between TPV characters, so you could swap from a "Wizard" to a "Wizard Evil" in TPV.
hint,hint,

cheers

That will depend on the model, the way it walks is bow it's walk animation has been animated, if it doesn't have an upright walk animation it won't walk upright. I think most of the default characters have an upright walk, you just need to work out which frames it is on and change it in tbe fpe.
