Force 3rd person POV and disable POV control? (NVSE)

Hi eveyone! It's been a long time. I'm trying to convert my old Scavenger World mod for Fallout 3 so that it works with the Tale of Two Wastelands mod for New Vegas. With my mod a player can loot a rubble pile via the use of a special shovel. When looting, an annimation of digging (from Point Lookout) is run on the player's character, that not only doesn't work in first person, but causes game breaking issues if run in first person.

 

I don't have a problem scripting a POV check with the function IsPC1stPerson, followed by a TapControl 13 if nessesary to force 3rd person view. However, if I do a DisableControl 13 imediately after, it switches POV back to first person, before the transition the 3rd person is complete.

 

Another problem is that IsPC1stPerson reports as false during the POV transition. If I start the annimation before the transition is complete, it gets messed up.

 

I've been stuck on this for a day, tinkering with various control settings without success. DisablePlayerControls also has the unwanted feature of switching to 1st person if you toggle POV feature, and does not seem to have the reverse option.

 

I think my only option at this point is to display a message for the player to switch to 3rd person if they try to dig in a pile in first person. I guess I could eliminate the digging animation altogether, but that wouldn't be much fun.

 

Any ideas?
