IsFirstPerson no longer works as a VariableBool?

[Hoamaii]

Strange thing. I created a mod a few months ago where "Game.getPlayer().GetAnimationVariableBool("IsFirstPerson")" worked flawlessly in any circomstances and it suddenly stopped working.

I debugged it, that script function no longer detects when my PC's in first person no matter what I try. Only the condition "isPC1stPerson" detects it now. I had to create a spell to replace that function. Is it only me? How can a function (or a variable) stop working all of a sudden? Never happened to me before in years of modding Beth's games... Unless at some point the string was changed to another expression and I missed that?

Try GetAnimationVariableInt("i1rstPerson").

[Hoamaii]

God, an Int is what I was using (pretty much like in Skyrim) before I had to move to a Bool because that stopped working too - I didn't even bother to try that again!..

 

Thanks for reminding me! You sure about "i1rstPerson"? Isn't it "i1stPerson" instead, without the "r" in "1rst"?

[Evangela]

Oops, sorry about that, yeah it's 1st.

I noticed that bug as well, not sure what causes it. Maybe after player switches graphs (enters/leaves power armor)

[Hoamaii]

Yep, well, nope, just tested it, GetAnimationVariableInt("i1stPerson") doesn't work either for me. Back to using my spell then!..

 

The way I tested it, I don't think my PC was switching graphs, he was standing, in First Person, no weapon drawn, no sneak, no PA, nothing - I just created an activator for debug purposes and had my PC activate it, running "If Game.GetPlayer().GetAnimationVariableBool("isFirstPerson")" [which worked fine till recently] and "If Game.getPlayer().GetAnimationVariableInt("i1stPerson") [which had be switch to a bool a few months ago when the Int stopped returning properly].

 

In both cases, it failed to detect First Person. No idea why.

They probably compiled it out of the executable or something. There's been a few updates since in that few months ago.

Yeah, you're probably right - I've been very careful not to update my PC version since that Creation Club invention (no sweat, I do use a very legit version!.. several in facts ;)) so I'm still running this one on 1.9.4 which is also a drag because it makes it harder to update my F4SE version or other stuff, or even to just verify cache. I will update once I've finished the few mods I have in progress but the mere thought of having to clean up my game HD after that makes me grind my teeth... It's bad enough that I can't do anything about CC on my console versions of the game... Made me realize that the last time I used that function in another mod was before the CC!.. I should upload my mods at some point rather than keep polishing them and inventing new ones... ;)

Hi @Hoamii this still seems to work for me

if PlayerRef.GetAnimationVariableBool("IsFirstPerson") == True

I just checked. I have the latest version of the .exe also

[Hoamaii]

Hey Flipdeezy, how are you?

 

Damn, silly of me, I didn't even try that - stupidly confident that a bool would return true or false without stating it... :geek: (Skyrim habits are hard to shake... :rolleyes:)

 

I'm not at my modding rig right now, but I'll try that first chance! Thanks!
