FPV for vehicles

Anakin · Post by **Anakin** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 6:00 am

Hi,

i have some problems to enable the first person view for vehicles. The only way it is working for me is ForceMode = "2" But than you cannot play in 3rd person. I already tryed ForceMode = "0", but no matter if you are in 1st or 3rd person view when you enter the vehicle, you get the 3rd person view.

==EDIT==

an other question, how can i make a static fpm for an gunner position, and if you move only the FOV should rotate, but not the model.

From what I found you can't switch between 1st and 3rd person in ground vehicles, you can only do that in space vehicles.

AQT told me it is possible, he did it in his latest map

I'm pretty sure the reason you can't switch between 1st and 3rd person view in hovers and walkers is because the control doesn't exist.
View was replaced by Droideka View for hovers and walkers.

Options > Controls > Vehicles > Droideka View
Options > Controls > Starfighter > View

Just to be clear, I didn't say you can switch from first to third person view and vice versa while inside of a ground vehicle. What I said was, if you set up your vehicle ODF correctly, then when you enter the vehicle while in first person, you should get the first person view in the vehicle. Same thing for third person view.

Now, looking at your original post, you tried using the ForceMode parameter with different values. As its name suggests, it forces the player into either first or third person view regardless of the view they were in before entering the vehicle. Have you tried not using that parameter at all?

I think i did it, before i tried the force method, but not sure about it. It was a while ago. I'll try it soon.

==EDIT==

i just removed the ForceMode line, but there is still only 3rd person view. I entered with 1st and 3rd person, but always i get the 3rd person on the vehicle

Odd, with Icebound I had the forcemode set for the ATTE for First, I don't see why it wouldn't work without the forcemode line.
