Corakus Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) When I play as my Thief, I always have to shoot my bow in first person in order to have better aim.But I dislike moving around in first person since third-person gives me a better view of my surroundings and allows me to see my character.What I'm looking for is a mod that switches my perspective to from third to first-person view whenever I draw back on my bow and back to third-person when either the arrow leaves my bow or stops flying.I realize that Unnecessary Violence has this feature, but personally that mod is far too buggy and causes too many crashes in order for me to use.Does anyone know where I can find/have the skills to make a mod that does this?It would make playing as an archer in third-person much easier without the instability that UV brings to Oblivion.I've looked in the TESNexus, PlanetElderScrolls, TESAlliance, and the OblivionModwiki for a mod that does this, but to no avail.

GreatLucifer Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Though not what you're asking for, wouldn't a third person crosshair solve your problem as well? As there is a mod for that, it might make your life and solution a bit easier... Lucifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corakus Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 No I've got DarnUI and I could easily turn on the third person crosshair but it's still too difficult to aim in third person, not just because my body is blocking the way but also because you see further in first person and you can't use the zoom you get at journeyman level in marksman in third person.

Corakus Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Seem like it has too much switching of the camera, all I want is for it to switch from third to first when i draw back on the bow and to go back to first soon after I release the arrow.I'll try it anyways though just in case it does work well. Edit: No I disliked it, when I used the mod it seemed to force me into first-person for anything that would usually required it, like picking up items or talking to npcs.For example, if I had just killed a group of skeletons with my bow and arrows, and I tried to pick the arrows up in third-person, the mod would always switch me to first-person, each and every time without fail, I could not pick up arrows in third-person, apparently the mod thought it would break the game.I found it to be quite frustrating.Chances are someone will either have to make a mod that switches the camera when you draw back on the bow or I will have to wait until the bugs are worked out in U.V.

Deleted1848331User Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think you can make a script where when you draw back the bow, it ToggleFirstPerson ... :whistling: (will require OBSE) scn BowtoFirstPersonQuestScript short IsBow Begin GameMode if (Player.GetEquipped WeapBowDaedric == 1) || (player.GetEquipped WeapBowSilver == 1) || and so on Set IsBow to 1 If IsBow == 1 && Player.IsAttacking ToggleFirstPerson ElseIf IsBow == 1 && Player.IsAttacking == 0 ToggleThirdPerson endif end Based on the script commands & function area of the CS wiki, this SHOULD work. I'm not 100% sure as I haven't done something like it before and don't have the CS open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
