[LE] Hotkey for specific camera positions and free camera rotation while moving - is it possible?

[teresatiger]

Hi guys, I have 2 camera-related issues that I would really like to fix in my game. I'm wondering if anyone can give me guidance because I have no idea where to start.

 

First, I'd like to create a hotkey toggle (or press-to-hold button) that will make the camera jump to a certain view, much like the vanilla button that switches from first to third person.

 

I've installed the alternate conversations mod with the Oblivion addon so that speaking to NPCs makes the camera zoom in to see them up close like you would in Witcher 3. What I would like is the ability to push or hold a button and have the camera view jump to a similar closeup view of my own character's face, returning to its previous view when the button is released or toggled off. Is that something that can be done in this game?

 

The other thing is that I would really like to detach the camera rotation from the player movements. When you're standing still, you can move the camera around all you like, but while walking or in combat, etc. the camera angle is locked behind the player and if you try to rotate the camera, it makes the player change directions.

 

Is it possible to fix that so that you can orbit the camera around to any front/side angle *while* moving, without it affecting the character?

 

Any help in doing this, or confirmation of whether it's even possible, would be much appreciated!

Thanks but unfortunately those aren't related to what I'm asking :-(

 

I just want to know if it's possible to set up a set camera view of the player's face that you can switch you with the push of a button, similar to jumping between first and third person. But maybe it isn't something the game can do...

Hmmm, it may be possible to script it with this mod:

Looks like it would be for a set duration though, and not only while you're holding the key.
