Camera Viewpoint

Post » Thu Jun 21, 2012 11:59 am

Is there a way, that I am missing, to set the camera viewpoint? I need to do it both in first person view and third person.

Explanation:
When someone boards a carriage, they get that view that we all see in the intro. But if I change their seating position, they get a view from the front of the carriage, right below the driver seat. (This is where their head would be if they were standing at the nif's 0,0,0 position.) How and where do I change this? I'd also love to change their "physical" location too, but I haven't had any luck. (I say physical, because that seems to be where their collision mesh is located, even if they are seated elsewhere.)

I don't see it as something in the nif... I've looked. (Is there a node type I am missing? I'm new to nifs.)

Is it in the animation?

I found http://www.creationkit.com/SetCameraTarget_-_Game but that doesn't help. I need something like: SetCameraViewpoint, but I don't see that. I've also read about changing the viewpoint for a race, by modifying the nif, but I don't see how that applies here.

Thanks!

I wonder whether http://www.creationkit.com/SetSittingRotation_-_Game would help?

Bethesda only uses that function once - I think it's the opening scene where the player is in the cart. It doesn't seem to work for furniture.

Otherwise, I found http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1368512-cut-scenes/ useful.

Thanks Proleric! I use the SetSittingRotation on the carriage also, to set the players starting view looking down the road, instead of his real forward, which would be the side of the carriage. Took me forever to figure out how to do that too. I'll check out that thread!
