Minimum camera zoom

[Kaitain]

Does anyone know if there is a way to stop the camera ever going into first person? i.e. so that the camera zoom just before first person is the minimum?

This should prevent you from zooming into first person view, unless you scroll very fast

local oldZoomIn = CameraZoomIn

function CameraZoomIn(v)
	if GetCameraZoom() > 1.8 then
		oldZoomIn(v)
	end
end

You can turn this into an addon with https://addon.bool.no/ or the REHack addon

Thx. I tried this with rehack and it made the scrolling freeze sporadically and constantly. Any idea what that might be?

Don't use it since replacing in-game function is extremely harmful and should be avoided.

Works fine for me with rehack, are you sure you are not accidentally running this script multiple times? Otherwise try http://addon.bool.no/

Note that I changed the distance to 1.8 instead, up from 1.7

It won't taint the UI since it doesn't return or call anything else. It's how MaxCam works which has thousands of users

Neither method works for me, and the instructions aren't complicated enough to get wrong. I assume there is some other variable or conflict with something my UI has but yours doesn't (or vice versa)? But don't worry about it. Not super important. Thanks for your help anyways.

Thank you for mentioning REHack, I don't know about this useful addon.
