[LE] Force Crosshair and FoV Refresh Script

[ServantOfSin]

I'm changing the INI setting for the crosshair via script, but I can't find a clean way to force it to refresh. Moving the player will, but that's no bueno. Also, I can't figure a way to refresh FoV after changing the INI via script. Tween menu does it, bow zoom does not. No SKSE, or it'd be simple. Thanks in advance!

Would a fade to black and back affect either of those?

 

There is FadeOutGame but it says that it may not work properly and that ApplyCrossFade might be a better route. Worth a shot at least.

I'll give the crossfade a shot, thanks. Crosshair seems to update on cell change. CartMode didn't work, or any AV changes to force HUD update. FoV seems to only refresh when the game does a FoV change, which is how the tween menu accomplishes that little zoom I guess. Thought I could use the Eagle Eye zoom, but it doesn't work.

More thoughts...

 

You could try popping open the inventory and then closing it. Just make sure to re-enable player controls after.

OpenInventory <-- opens inventory

DisablePlayerControls <-- closes menu, use: Game.DisablePlayerControls(False, False, False, False, False, True) ; Exit menu

EnablePlayerControls <-- re-enables menu access, use: Game.EnablePlayerControls(False, False, False, False, False, True) ; Reenable menu

 

If you haven't tried it, you could see what happens when switching between first and third person modes

ForceFirstPerson

ForceThirdPerson

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I tried the obvious like DisablePlayerControls() -> EnablePlayerControls() and then weird things like forcing animation variables, redirecting camera targets, equipping/unequipping items, fades, imods, camera shakes, cartmode...

Since DisablePlayerControls() didn't affect it, I didn't pursue it any further. As a last resort, I broke it into every individual setting and isolated the one that worked. Works flawlessly with no hiccup in control or display. I think doing this will force a HUD update in general, not 100% though. Well on my way to making XBox do things it never thought it could.

Game.DisablePlayerControls(abLooking = true)
Game.EnablePlayerControls(abLooking = true)

Spoke too soon! Just posting in case anyone ever comes across the same issue.

; It will sheathe empty hands or spells
Game.DisablePlayerControls(abLooking = true)
Game.EnablePlayerControls(abLooking = true)

;Only need this part to force a crosshair, possibly HUD refresh
Game.EnablePlayerControls(abLooking = true)
