[LE] Check for third or first person

[Tiziano74]

Hi

I'm creating some animation in my house and I'm looking for a way to make a script recognize whether the player's view is first or third person.
What I would like to do is record the state of the view, if it's in first or third person, before the animation, force the third person view, and after the animation, if the player was playing in first person bring the game back to first person view.
Does anyone know of a command or script that checks the state of the player's view, if the game is in first or third person?
Thanks in advance to those who will answer!

Hey yeah, I do something similar in one of my mods. You can do something like this:

    Bool FirstPerson = PlayerRef.GetAnimationVariableBool("IsFirstPerson") 
    If FirstPerson
        Game.ForceThirdPerson()
    Endif 
    
    ;play animation 
    
    If FirstPerson
        Game.ForceFirstPerson()
    Endif

Thanks dylbill

 

The script works perfectly, the only thing more is to add an utility wait for a number of seconds higher than the animation before returning to first person, otherwise the player remains blocked

No problem. There's also a PlayAnimationAndWait function: https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=PlayAnimationAndWait_-_ObjectReference

 

I've never used it, and read it can cause bugs though so using utility.wait is probably the better option.
