Build Cam

1. Equip your hammer,

2. Go within build range of a build station (e.g. a workbench),

3. Press B (default - can be changed in config) to activate the build camera.

4. The camera is now disconnected from your avatar. Look around and move as usual (e.g. using mouse and keyboard); use jump (Space) to go up and stealth (Control) to go down. Hold run (Shift) to move the camera faster. Gamepad users: left trigger and right trigger move the camera up and down. Right joystick turns the camera. Left joystick pans the camera left, right, forward, and backward.

5. Build (left click) and choose items to build (right click) as usual.

## Other details

This mod changes how far from a work station you're able to build to several times the game default, see the configuration options Distance_Can_Build_From_Avatar and Distance_Can_Build_From_Workbench. There was much demand for this feature.

Deactivate build mode by unequipping the hammer or pressing B or R (the keybind for "hide" weapons).

Also works with the hoe and the cultivator.

The camera must stay within the build area, although the range is configurable with Camera_Range_Multiplier.

# Installation

1. Install (https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/denikson/BepInExPack_Valheim/)

2. Place `Build Camera.dll` in your BepInEx plugins directory, like this: `Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\Build Camera.dll`.

# Configuration

Start the game with the plugin installed, then edit the file `\BepInEx\config\Build Camera.cfg`. There are several configurable options:

Distance_Can_Build_From_Workbench

Toggle_build_mode hotkey

Camera_Move_Speed_Multiplier

# Incompatible with

Valheim Plus first person mode. Sorry, I'm not sure how to make these compatible, both mods are taking over the camera.

* Masa's FirstPerson mod, on R2ModManager

I've been told Build Camera is compatible with with kailen37's FirstPerson mod on nexusmods.com.

# Miscellaneous

This mod only needs to be installed on your client, not the server, and other clients do not have to install it (unless they want it too).
