showlooksmenu - camera stays on back

[Formenel]

hi everyone!

 

i have serious issues with the showlooksmenu command.

i understand, that you have to turn the camera in 3rd person to the front of the pc and then open the console and enter the command.

i do this using either [v] or the middle mouse button. but as soon as i close the console the camera turns back to the back of the pc.

what do i miss?

I didn't encounter with such problem, but you may try player.tc (togglecontrols) command after tfc (don't forget to run player.tc again when you have done).

thanks for the advice, this might work.

 

but the solution is much more trivial, than i like to admit: i just played on and in sanctuary you have to do some "workbench-ing". after holding [v] for workbench-mode and leaving that, i could rotate the camera freeely and it stayed where i left it - instead of turning the pc around.

when you look deeper, you will find, that this happens when the weapon is drawn (combat-mode). my pc did holster the weapon when switching to workbench-mode and so left combat-mode. (awkward)

so, holstering the weapon before rotating the mouse is the key. holding [r] does the trick (yeah google is also my friend, because why would someone put this into the command description???)

 

so don't hold [v] and rotate to the front of th pc and open console while still holding [v] ..... just hold [r] until weapon is holstered, rotate mouse, open console, enter command, be happy
