Title: Disable 3rd person view in mission
Post by: gwg-striker on 24 Feb 2003, 12:56:29

Hello,

I wonder whether there is a way or command to disable 3rd person view in a mission. I know it can be set on the server, but want to disable it permanently

Thx in advance,

[GWG] Striker,
a.k.a. Frans

Hi MorMel,

thx for the reply, alas it doesn't work, there is no 'FIXED' value. Also, I would have to use 'INTERNAL' in stead of external.

Well, it's one step closer, now just find out how to lock the camera.

This should do the trick for you. I havn't tried this, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

Create a script like so..

Code: [Select]

#loop
player switchcamera "internal"
~0.01
goto "loop"
..and execute it from your init.sqs file like so...

[] exec "thisscript.sqs"

EDIT: Let me know if this works. If it does please click the 'solve' button. This would make a nice FAQ item for the Ed Depot.
