Script - Zoom

From FreeSpace Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

This script enables you to zoom your view so precise aiming is easier. It includes a config file that specifies the values the script will use. It also features a FRED SEXP interface so A FREDer can force a zoom-in (or -out) as needed. For more documentation check out this thread.

Table Entry

  • To use create an file called zoom-sct.tbm in your date/tables directory and paste the following code into it:
#Conditional Hooks

$Application: FS2_Open
$On Game Init:[[zoom_init.lua]]

$State: GS_STATE_GAME_PLAY
$On Key Pressed: [[zoom_KeyDn.lua]]

$State: GS_STATE_GAME_PLAY
$On Key Released: [[zoom_KeyUp.lua]]

$Application: FS2_Open
$On Mission Start: 
[
runZoomScript = true
]

$On Mission End:
[
if runZoomScript then
	if defaultZoomSet and cam and cam:isValid() then
		cam:setFOV(normalFOV) -- Resetting the FOV in case we have not zoomed out completely
	end
	
	resetZoomScript()
	
	removeTemps()
	
	runZoomScript = false
end
]

$State: GS_STATE_GAME_PLAY
$On Frame: 
[
if runZoomScript and zooming then
	handleControls()
	
	if hu.HUDDrawn then
		drawProgress()
	end
end
]

#End

After this create the file zoom_init.lua int your data/scripts folder and paste the following into it:

-- Now weapons with #zoom in the end will be allowed to zoom
-- Uncomment this line to enable this behavior
