Hello! I am very new to modding so please bear with me if this is a silly question. I've been trying to find the answer for a while now with no success so I was hoping someone here could help.

Basically, there is a command that I can already access via the console. I want the same effect added to my papyrus script. Some of the console commands are listed in the creation kit's wiki as having a Papyrus alternative, but after several hours of searching, I can't locate one for this particular command.

The console command is: fov(XX) <-- changes the player's field of vision

The wiki mentions a function SetCameraFOV(XX), but I think this is just referring to the console command as I have not managed to make it work in an actual script.

If anyone knows how to trigger this function from within Papyrus' scripting language, I would appreciate the help.

Bump! Because this forum moves fast

Nope.

Oh buh. Is there an alternative anyone knows about for the field of vision command? Something that will allow me to temporarily change the field of vision through a script/quest/etc. in the creation kit?

Nothing I can find when looking through the Creation Kit wiki, I'm afraid.

EDIT:

Typically, if the developers didn't need to do something in the game that would require a native function, it won't be available to the scripting language. SKSE should eventually be able to help with that.

Thank you for the reply. I've spent the last several hours searching the Wiki for something like this with no luck, so you're probably right about it not being in there. I could have sworn the field of vision widened for werewolf form, though, or else the camera changed positions - probably just my eyes playing tricks on me, since I pulled the werewolf scripts and can only find things like setting the view to third person. I'll think of something else.

Not familiar with the Skyrim Script Extender. Is that something Bethesda releases/updates the creation kit with or is it a collection of player-made scripts for modders?
