[REQ] Restricted External Cam

Dignan · 04-10-08, 04:56 PM

There was a discussion in the main SH4 forum about external cam verse no external cam. Many people, including myself, expressed a desire to keep the external cam turned on but somehow restrict it's range. I recently started playing without it and while the game is more realistic I do miss the beauteful shots of my boat and surrounding waters. Is it possible for one of the talented modders on this forum to do one of two things?....

1. Make it so the external camera is disabled when enemy units are detected or come within a determined range?

or

2. Make it so the external camera can never be panned out farther than say, 30 or 40 yards from your boat (this range is debatable). This would also mean that when you switch to external cam while submerged that the camera would immediately get a view of your boat from that pre-determined range instead of starting on the surface where you can look around before bringing the camera underwater.
