Description

===========

This mod allows the player's head to follow the camera movements in 3rd person view.

It also allows the player to automatically look towards his interlocutor during dialogues.

It is inspired by hiryuu19's Camera Directed Head Tracking mod but completely rewritten because using a SKSE plugin. It adds several new features and options.

There are 3 modes with 3 corresponding keys, configurable in an MCM menu :

Mode "Follow the a camera" 

In this mode, the player's head follow the camera movements, looking in the same direction

Press again the key to stop the mode

Mode "Look at the sceen"

In this mode the player's head looks towards the screen, as if watching us. This mod did not exist in the Skyrim mod of hiryuu19, however not very useful but funny :)

Press again the key to stop the mode

The "Follow the camera" and "Look at the sceen" modes now have 3 operating options:

- Full: With this option, the mode is always active. This is the working of version 1. 0

- 180°: With this option, the headtracking only work on 180° ( 240°, in fact, for "Follow the camera" mode )

In one case, the mode alternates between the "Follow the camera" mode (when the camera is behind the player) and normal mode (when the camera is in front of the player)

In the other case, the mode alternates between the "Look at the sceen" mode (when the camera is in front of the player) and normal mode (when the camera is behind the player)

- Hybrid: With this option, the mode alternates between the "Follow the camera" mode (when the camera is behind the player) and "Look at the screen" mode (when the camera is in front of the player)

This option is identical for the 2 modes

Mode "Keep the pose"

In this mode, activated after one of the 2 previous modes, the player's head locks in the direction where it was.

Press again the key returns to the previous mode

- A unique key "Change mode" allow to cycle the modes: "Follow the camera" then "Look at the screen" then stop the modes

A long press activates the "Keep the pose" mode. And then, a normal press returns to the previous mode.

- An option allow to disable all modes when
