SitCamTool - an automatic camera positioner for seats (or anything)
Note: v1.1 update Jan-2022. Squished a rare bug in some weirdly made furniture :) Grab a redlivery if I didn't already send you one.
Are you sick of staring at the wall? When you sit on your chair, or get into bed, your camera jumps out of the house and shows you the nice (or not!) brickwork. I was, so I wrote this.
No more bad cam positions I say!
The SitCamTool quickly and easily sets the default camera position and view for anything you can drop the script into and sit on. It takes literally seconds.
While some furniture might have this facility built in, (good luck finding it even if so) this tool will work on any modifiable thing that you can sit on. Simple and easy!
Once done, that's it. Whenever you or anyone sits on that object, on any part of it, you'll get the saved camera view that you set. No alt-camming to see where you are, no fuss, just the view you always wanted.
The saved camera position is a property of the object, once set. The script removes itself after setting the view, so cannot add any lag. You can copy the object (assuming it is copy perms) and it will keep the camera position in the copies.*
Use:
1. Sit on the object.
2. Drop in the script.
3. Follow the instructions on the pop-up dialog, which are:
4. Cam to how you want your view to be.
5. Click SET. That's it, job done.
Other options are CLEAR to clear any previous camera settings (including those set by this script) and CANCEL to just, well, cancel. The script always auto-removes itself after doing it's job, and will remove after three minutes if you don't do anything.
Done it wrong? Timed out? Just wait for the script to self remove (if it hasn't alread) and drop it in again. You can't break anything.
*Please note that the object must have modify perms for you to drop in the script. Rarely, some items might set their own camera position when they use them; this will probably override the saved setting. Such furniture is not suitable for this script (or any other... it has it's own built in. Leave it alone :). Also rarely, some furniture might erase camera positions when their scripts initialise, so to make a copy of it with your saved camera, take it into inventory and rez copies from there (which usually does NOT initialise the items scripts unless they are (very!) poorly written). I also do not recommend using it on moving objects/vehicles for similar reason.
