First Person model

[Aware]

I am trying to make my Gasmask model mount and only show first person when it mounts.

I tried changing LODs to all kinds of numbers from -10000 to 10000 and none work.

I dont know of any scripting that can do this.

The problem is that GUI stuff is all client-side, so when you say that it makes it mount for everyone, what it really is doing is just showing for you, and nobody else.

A working solution would involve a client add-on with a clientCmd to show or hide it, and the server sends a commandToClient to tell the client when to show it or hide it.


Just imagine if someone made a horrible image (think of the worst thing you can think of), and created a crosshair with it, full screen, and made it show up for everyone on the server... That is (one good reason) why it can't be done with just a server add-on.

Well, thank you for replying, but I do not want there to be a Client Mod.

I stated that I was making it for my Gasmask.

This explains how to make clients download GUIs, that is if you have RTB, but work off of this and it should help

EDIT: wait, forget, are you using a GUI?

No, he isn't.

For some reason, Uristqwerty started talking about them.


But, I have no idea how to make it first person only. There is a way, I think it involves having a model for first person and a model for third. The third person should just be empty.dts

I do know theres a variable you can use to lock the player at first person/third person, but thats really as far as I know

Because initially, he was talking about using a crosshair GUI, but when someone equipped the item, the gui would show up for "everyone".

I cant figure out how to do that, I've searched BL forums and Torque Help.

Not what I want.




Does anyone know how to change LOD to make it first person only? I've done it befor on accident... but I dont know how to do it on purpose :/

[soba]

   firstPersonOnly=1;
   thirdPersonOnly=1;

[Aware]

   firstPersonOnly=1;
   thirdPersonOnly=1;

Thats playertype.

And you cant mount 2 models on the head. I want to know how to make it using LOD

ah, then I have no idea

After a long time of trial and error with LODs, I came with this result.

LOD = -1: Third person only

LOD = 1: First person only


Let this help all the people who come after me.
