Toggle Third Person View

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone has managed to ever be able to toggle between thrirdperson and firstperson view?

It can be chnage in OW2 via the hud,cfg
set scr_thirdperson_enable “1”

but then it is just either on or off until server is restarted. It would be nice if the player was able to choose mid game.

I was trying things like “cg_thirdperson 0;bind [key] on” and ‘off’ but did not work.

Thanks.

    self setClientDvar( "cg_thirdPerson", "0" );
}

SetThirdPersonView()
{
    self setClientDvar( "cg_thirdPerson", "1" );
}

ThirdPersonMonitor()
{
    self endon( "disconnect" );
	self endon( "death" );
	level endon( "game_ended" );

    waittillframeend;
    if( isDefined( self.pers[ "tps" ] ) )
    {
        self setClientDvar( "cg_thirdPerson", self.pers[ "tps" ] );
    }

    if( !isDefined( self.pers[ "tps" ] ) || !self.pers[ "tps" ] )
        return;

    waittillframeend;
    self thread ThirdPersonViewSight();
    self thread ThirdPersonViewDeath();
}

ThirdPersonViewSight()
{
    self endon( "disconnect" );
	self endon( "death" );
	level endon( "game_ended" );

	oldAds = 0;
	firstPersonView = false;

	for (;;)
	{
		wait (0.05);
		// Check if the player enable/disable ADS
		if ( self playerADS() > oldAds ) {
			oldAds = self playerADS();
			// Player is enabling ADS
			if ( !firstPersonView ) {
				self thread SetFirstPersonView();
				firstPersonView = true;
			}
		} else if ( self playerADS() < oldAds ) {
			oldAds = self playerADS();
			// Player is disabling ADS
			if ( firstPersonView ) {
				self thread SetThirdPersonView();
				firstPersonView = false;
			}
		}
	}
}

ThirdPersonViewDeath()
{
    self endon( "disconnect" );
    level endon( "game_ended" );

    for(;;)
    {
        self waittill( "death" );

        self thread SetThirdPersonView();
    }

Thanks mate for the quick reply.

Where have you put your script? Maybe a bit different for OW2. Would like to be able to toggle between the two mid game.
