Looking for "PA always 1st person" mod

[DeltaType90]

Hey everyone

 

Have anyone made a mod that will (always) automatically change view to 1st person when entering a *once you have entered your* power armor, and back again to 3rd person when exiting *once you have exited* it?

 

Or does anyone know what I would need to do to do it myself? (been a long time since I have worked with this stuff, but still remember a little lol )

 

For some reason the view seems to swap at random in my game when *after* I enter/exit, but I would really love it if the default POV was 1st person when *after* I enter the armor and 3rd person as a default when *after* I exit

 

Any help or advise would be much appreciated

 

*Sorry for the confusing formulation, should be more clear now*

As far as I know, and I would happily accept a correction to this... but as far as I know, there isn't a 1st person animation for entering PA. It can be faked, by changing the camera length, which does happen if you are too close to an object, when exiting the armor.

Unless I'm wrong about that, you would need to build a set of animations for entry. From the first person view. And then assign them as replacers for the 3rd person animations.

Now... with the 3rd person anims... I DO know they're jenky. For entering PA. There's frames in the animation sequence that don't blend together very well, if tampered with.

 

TBH I think it would be a lot easier, to try to create a custom camera angle, for entering. But how to actually go about that... I dunno. It would involve only the custom camera location during entry, and then have to go back to normal afterwards.

Oh sorry, maybe I should have written it differently, but I don't mean the actual "entering" part, I meant once you are inside the PA, so after the entering animation, guess I should have been clearer on that, sorry

 

In any case thank you for taking the time to reply

Heyas Delta.

Ahhhh ok. I see what you mean. Thanks for the clarification. :thumbsup:

Essentially now what you're wanting to get into, is scripting. A script that would kick the POV to first person, directly after entry. The same way that the character creation scene kicks you into 1st person view as soon as you leave the bathroom mirror.

And of course, the opposite of, after exiting.

Making those two scripted events is actually a lot easier.

But

Definitely requires a different skill set and knowledge base.

And would most likely be used through F4SE.

 

Unfortunately.

That's about as far as I can take you. :(

If you have some scripting knowledge, and need help, either the author's forums might be able to help. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/376-general-mod-author-discussion/

Or the CK forums, here local to FO4 https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/3935-fallout-4-creation-kit-and-modders/

 

I would try the latter, first. (So then why did I post them in reverse? I dunno, I guess ADHD got the better of me again... )
