description

This mod enables players to change the direction camera while viewing it.
Works for any camera block, modded or vanilla.

How to use in game

When you view a camera the mod will tell you the controls as a HUD notification.

Simply hold the LookAround key (default: LeftAlt) and move your mouse/arrow keys/gamepad right stick to rotate the view (pitch and yaw).

You can also swap the yaw control with the roll control by holding the Sprint key (default: Shift), very useful for ceiling mounted cameras as shown in the video.

To reset the view back to centered press the Change Camera View key (default: V).


Pitch and yaw angle limits are determined by the camera's raycast angle limit (which is default to 45 which means -45 to 45). Roll has no limit.

The view speed limit is also intentional to give a servo motor feel.

Different people on the same camera can look in their individual directions because the view is not synchronized.


Other effects

This mod also changes:
- The max FOV on the vanilla cameras to 100 degrees (because 60 was simply too low), this does not affect mod-added camera blocks. However it is fully compatible with mods that change things on the vanilla cameras (except of course the max FOV).
- Fixes the position of the camera being in the center of the block rather than close to the camera model itself. This affects all non-modded cameras that do not have a ModelOffset set to them (because that also moves the camera view).
- Camera key resets first person view orientation on characters if 3rd person is disabled.


Side notes

I've not used the vanilla roll controls (default Q/E) for rolling the view for 2 reasons:
- Alt+Q/E still operates gyroscopes and I can't stop that.
- It can get more confusing than it is now.


Known issues

- (PB scripts) When the host rotates a camera, the camera raycast will be rotated along with it until they leave the camera view; this does not affect DS since DS can't view cameras.


XBox ?

Will not work. This mod relies on client-side scripts which are not allowed on the console itself.
