IsPC1stPerson
A function included in the GECK for Fallout 3.
Contents
Description
Returns 1 if the camera is in 1st person view, and returns 0 if the camera is in 3rd person view.
Syntax
(0, 1:int) IsPC1stPerson
Example
if IsPC1stPerson
Notes
IsPC1stPerson will return 1 for 1 frame during certain in game actions even if the player is playing in 3rd person view. These actions include:
- Aiming and Un-Aiming with a scoped weapon (1 frame for each action)
- Opening & Closing the Pipboy (1 frame for each action)
- Entering & Exiting VATS (1 frame for each action)
Compounding this issue is that for scoped weapons, the GetPCUsingScope function will return 0 for the frames IsPC1stPerson will return 1 when aiming/un-aiming.
The Pipboy Opening & Closing frames can be successfully filtered out using GetPipBoyMode
VATS cannot be filtered out with the GetVATSMode function, as again it returns 0 for the frames that IsPC1stPerson will return 1. VATS can instead be filtered out by using IsControlPressed.
