Immersion Camera

Version: 0.2

by: ChanceBusta [More]

The goal of Immersion Camera is for people who played the TES series and liked First Person View (FPV), but at the same time felt it was smarter to fight in Third Person View (TPV). Immersion Camera should detect when you are in combat and switch your view to TPV then switch it back to FPV after the fight.

At the moment you need to be in First Person to begin with.
Hit V (or w/e you have keybound for Toggle First Person) and use the scroll wheel to set the Third Person view where you like it.
Hit V again to go back to First Person.
That's it! Immersion Camera will take care of the rest.

I'm still working on a few other features. Mainly, so don't have to do anything mentioned above.

To Do List
------------
Get an In-game settings menu.
Ability to toggle this addon on and off in menu. (I can see not really liking it in PvP, or if you want to run in third person a bit you can.)
Ability to set Third Person View Height in menu. (saving the information so you don't have to worry about any of the instructions above.)
Add a bit of a delay to the switch back from first person after a fight. (Fighting without multiple enemies was a bit annoying with it switching back and forth from first person to third during the fight.)

I'm new to LUA and the Addon scene, so if you see something stupid or have any advice let me know.

---------------------------
Version 0.2

Cleaned things up a bit. Working on the delay to switch back to first person after combat is over.
I've got something that works commented out, but it jumps in to first person for a split second then starts the delay. If you know how to fix, let me know.

Could you add settings so you can choose how the addon behaves? So people like him can zoom into FPS during fights and back out for exploring? Also, I prefer playing in 1st person all the but am forced into 3rd person when mounting or swimming. I hate over the shoulder perspective and always zoom out to max in these situations however the game seems to forget what you like, or if I decide I want a 3rd person view for a time. How about detecting if you are mounting your horse and then zooming out all the way? That would be extremely useful.

Yeah, thats the issue I'm having trying to get the delay to work. EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE seems to trigger both entering combat and exiting. I'm trying to find a way to tell that I'm out of combat like a health regen event or something.

At the moment, yes, it does toggle view entering combat and exiting combat. But, I can't get an api to work on exiting combat only. Still trying to figure that out. I may try something with EVENT_EXPERIENCE_UPDATE.

I actually like fighting in first person, but it's hard to tell when I'm standing in a red zone while battling against massive enemies. Until that can get fixed somehow by Zenimax, I'll be using this.

I doubt I can change anything for First Person. I do wan't to make a menu for choosing the default Third Person height though.

Like I said, I'm new to all this, so figuring it out as I go. Thanks for the suggestion!

No worries! I don't use first person in ESO because the FOV kills me, but if you add the third person camera height option I'll definitely use this addon anyway.

Good luck!
