Seaweed's No Third Person Whoring

[seaweeduk]

I hate people who spend hours doing things like laying on top of a firestation whilst prone. They can see literally everything around them and cannot be shot until they sit up to shoot someone else. I'm not a fan of the third person camera in general but unfortunately it's too unpopular to run a 1st person server.

I wrote this script to try and improve the combat somewhat in certain areas, particularly firestations.

What it does

• Players cannot use the 3rd person camera in any prone animation, if they are more than 1 metre above ground level.
• If players attempt to repeatedly try to use the 3rd person camera whilst in an illegal animation their character will stand up and surrender.

Installation

In init.sqf at the bottom add:

if (!isDedicated) then {
    [] execVM "fixes\thirdPersonWhores.sqf";
};

Create a thirdPersonWhores.sqf in your fixes directory or wherever you want to put it. Paste this as the contents.

waitUntil {!isNull player};
sleep 5;
_count = 0;
_playerHeight = 2;
_lastTime = diag_tickTime;
_lastTriggeredTime = diag_tickTime;

Better way to to check if the player is in a prone animation:

    _animation =  animationState player;
    _state = (getText (configFile >> "CfgMovesMaleSdr" >> "States" >> _animation >> "actions"));
    _proneActions = ["RifleProneActions","PistolProneActions","CivilProneActions"];
        if (_state in _proneActions) then {
            hint "PRONE!";
        };

Other then that, nice idea

You can also stop people looking through walls using third person camera and leaning. Add this inside your dayz_spaceInterrupt section in compiles.sqf

_inVehicle = (_vehicle != player);

if !(_inVehicle) then {
if ((_dikCode in actionKeys "LeanLeft") || (_dikCode in actionKeys "LeanRight") || (_dikCode in actionKeys "LeanLeftToggle") || (_dikCode in actionKeys "LeanRightToggle")) then {
player switchCamera "Internal";
};
};

edit: appears double tapping can work around this one
