View toggle rework

Sep 23, 2022 tjgaming8324 link
Right now if I want to switch to a different view say from first person to third person & then back to first person, I have to toggle through a bunch of different views before reaching to the one I want.

Simply make so I can type which view I want. Or base it on number (since some modes like 3rd person have 2 variations)

So /viewtoggle1 would change the view to first person. /viewtoggle2 would change the view to 3rd person. /viewtoggle3 would change it to the 2nd version of 3rd person view & so on.

Having to cycle through all is quite annoying

+1, though i'd make it a single command and an argument, instead of multiple commands. If someone uses viewtoggle without an argument, it uses its current behaviour.

That's what I meant. Thanks for explaining what I was trying to say ;)

Please add this in some upcoming updates too. It'd be very very useful

Huge +1 on this, I utilize third person alternative for capships and first person otherwise.

As long as the original cycling functionality isn't removed(not being able to cycle would be incredibly annoying) +1

+1 I'm propably not going to use it, but I think it could be useful

Just noting this was added a few weeks ago, in VO 1.8.635:

- The /ViewToggle command now accepts an optional view mode parameter. 1 is first-person, 2 is third-person.
- Added a ViewToggle(mode) lua command to switch view modes.
