How to make a weaponimage render in first person only?? [solved]

[Honno]

hi

are there any datablock fields that allow me to make a weapon image render ONLY in first person? because im currently mounting a bot to the player with the model of a hand & weapon (so i can change the color of the custom hand). due to that: the bot, aka weapon, does NOT render in first person.



here it is with the CUSTOM hand model in 3rd person (aka a bot mounted to the player):


so i'd like to create an weapon image on top of all that, which only renders in first person. any ideas how to make it first person only?



thanks


PS.

the reason im not using the regular hand is because i cannot rotate it, and it'd look weird on a weapon like this:

Try the LOD values in whatever program you're exporting in. The groups should have the according number after, like

test1 for LOD 1
test2 for LOD 2

I don't remember the exact LOD values

LOD of 1 - model visible first person only
LOD of 3 - model visible third person only (it may be LOD 2)
LOD of 0 is both.

Not done anything like this myself

If I remember the cloak and dagger did something like this
